Hey folks, welcome to the adventure sports podcast. I'm your host, Mason Gravely. Today we're throwing it back to 2021 when I was able to sit down with Wesley Trimble. Wesley has since become a friend since this interview. And we've worked together in a bunch of ways at my day job with volunteering,

and he is an enormous inspiration.

And what's so cool about his story is that he was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy,

which affects his fine motor skills on the right side of his body.

And that's not the cool part. What's cool is that

he loves adventure and through hiking and climbing. And despite dealing with cerebral palsy, that would

keep a lot of people from doing these things. He hasn't let that stop him. He's climbed all the

Colorado 14ers, which is a wild story. There's a film out about it called Within Weakness.

And he's also through hike the Pacific Crest Trail, all 2653 miles of it.

And at the time, he was working with American Hiking Society, which I am a board member of,

and has since moved on to the Palmer Land Trust to help conserve land in Colorado.

So the guy is just a huge inspiration to me.

I loved having him on. He's so humble. He's so kind, so generous with his time and stories.

And I really enjoyed this conversation a few years ago. So I wanted to replay it. I hope you enjoy it

too. And I hope it inspires you to get out there and get more adventure in your life because that's what this show is about.

We're not doing how-toes.

We're not doing gear reviews on this show.

It is to inspire you to get out there when you can, do what you can, where you are with what you have, and start getting those excuses out of the way.

Because it hasn't stopped Wesley and it shouldn't stop you.

Thank you. Doing well. Thanks for having me, Mason. I appreciate it.

Yeah, definitely. I always ask this first, where are you coming from today?

Yeah, so that's a great question.
