Hey everyone, before we start the show, I want to do a quick call out because we've got this

collaborative storytelling project we want to work with you on. We have a preview of a recent

campfire chat all about bonking. We're going to share some of our best bonk stories and we want to

the items of gear that we're rationally attached to. And it might not be a long story,

but there's a story behind these staples of the dirtbag, the lifestyle, and we love hearing them.

So today, we're going to be talking about bonk stories. We've all been done that odd,

potentially hallucinogenic path of calorie miscalculation. I'm Fitz-Call. I'm Cordelia Zars.

And you're listening to the dirtbag, Tari's.

Okay, Lauren. Your bonk story. Go. Kick us off. Okay. So it's 2017. I'm in your

semifalley. I've decided after having done a three-day assent of the nose on El Cap in the spring,

that even though very little has changed that somehow, no, I'm ready to try to climb the nose

in a day. And so I call up my friend Nick from Colorado, who I had done kind of my first wall with
