| 0:00.0 | I remember waking up one morning and seeing this basin and these glaciers in the snow and thinking it was a glimpse of heaven. This is the adventure sports podcast. Brought to you by 180Tack. Get out there and have some fun. |
| 0:53.5 | Hello and welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast. We have a special guest for you today. Brett Rinesmith is a world adventurer. He was an entrepreneur earlier in life and it led him into many fascinating sports, mountaineering, ice and rock climbing, backpacking, canyaneering, skiing and ski mountaineering, white water kayaking |
| 1:13.0 | and rafting, sea kayaking, canoeing, scuba diving, all these things. He's a world traveler |
| 1:19.3 | who has had lots of great adventures, and we are really glad that he can join us today. So, Brad, I |
| 1:24.8 | told our audience just a little bit about you. Tell us a little bit more about |

| 2:19.9 | activities and to pursue this passion. |
| 2:23.3 | It looks like you've climbed a lot of high peaks around the globe. Tell us about a few of those. |
| 2:29.5 | Yeah, probably the first time I did a lot of Colorado 14,000 foot mountains, and there was a couple |
| 2:37.6 | that the previous year had an opportunity to climb Kilimanjaro and was able to summit, |
| 2:43.7 | and so they kind of got a passion for maybe doing some seven summits or a tailored version of |
| 2:50.0 | the seven summits. |
| 2:51.1 | And so they asked if I would join them in climbing Mount Elbrus in Russia. |
