You are listening to the Enormo cast.

Before the dawn of history, on the primordial earth, many, many years before Canada even existed,

there lived a tiny creature whose innovation changed the course of evolution. This extraordinary

critter, in an attempt to outdo and outlive the prey and predators

around it, decided one day to fly or glide or maybe just jump really high. We don't actually

know, but that's not the point. The point is, is that the little archaeopteryx reached for

the heavens and became a legend.

What this little rebel could not have known is that its strange brittle skeleton would

be discovered hundreds of millions of years later and inspire the folks at Arcterix

equipment to help our own Earthbound corbound corporal forms reach for the sky.

Since 1989, coincidentally the year I started climbing,

Arcterics has been innovating gear and apparel for climbers to perform when the weather becomes predatory,

and also to help us look as spiffy as a lizard with feathers

while we soar to our own great heights. And now, Arctarex has joined the Enormo cast to continue

the tradition of telling stories of the best and brightest in climbing, as well as the misfits,

dirtbags, and fringe dwellers.

So, dear listener, raise your glass to that brave little lizard bird thingy that dared to fly,

maybe, and let's toast Arcterics for helping us achieve our own scoured dreams.

Arcterics is now a proud sponsor of the Enormalcast.

Hey y'all, it's me, the Yeti Yonder water bottle.

You remember, two holes, one for filling and one for swilling.

Well, over the years, the Normacast has tried to sell you little old me, the yonder water bottle.
