And then we found a little rocky alcove that was protected from the wind that was in the crater itself.

So the crater, it looks like you would think of it as a volcano, but it's filled with snow.

Episode 295, Jim Lim and Casa talks ski mountaineering on Mount Rainier as well as some experiences from climbing Colorado 14ers.

You're listening to the Adventure Sports podcast brought to you by 180 Tech. We talk with adventurers from around the globe to bring you the inspiration and motivation you need to get started in the outdoors or to keep you moving if you're already there. Now here's your host, Kurt Linville.

Hi, friends, Kurt here.

Thank you so much for listening today to the Adventure Sports Podcast.

Wow, we have been having so much fun lately.

It's been an amazing summer and a lot of changes around here at the Adventure Sports podcast.

I'm going to put together a show that tells you a little bit about that, and we'll have that

coming out in a couple of weeks or something like that.

But just a teaser, it's been a really fun time.

I hope that your summer's going well and you're

having the adventures of a lifetime. I wanted to mention the best thing that you can do to help

support the adventure sports podcast is to tell your friends about the show. I think we've got such

a great thing going and our audience is growing by leaps and bounds. People love the show

and we love that, but they'll never know about the show unless someone like you lets them know.

So please tell your friends about the Adventure Sports podcast so that they can listen in as well,

learn about wonderful adventure sports that will help them to have richer, healthier, more fulfilling lives.

So that's really what it's all about.

Today's show is with Jim Laman Casa.

And Jim is a climber who has done a lot of like trad climbing, technical rock climbing,

and then transition into alpinism and ski mountaineering.
