Summary
Originally aired - April 05, 2019
Today’s revisited episode features someone who’s balancing the delicate act of being an epic adventurer and a normal family man. Sean Green uses his precious time off work to climb and bike down the Munros of Scotland, a list of 282 mountain peaks that are scattered across the country.
Currently, Sean is approaching the halfway point of the project and it has been nothing short of a true adventure thus far. From terrible weather, broken vehicles, and totally decimated itineraries, there’s something all of us can learn from Sean, you don’t have to be a full-time adventure athlete to do incredible things.
We hope you enjoy this down-to-earth conversation and we hope you get out there and plan something yourself.

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the adventure Sports podcast. My name is Mason. Today we are throwing the episode back to 2019 when we talked to Sean Green about climbing and biking down all the Monroes of Scotland. And that's just a series of mountains that are called the Monroe's. |
| 0:38.4 | There's 282 of them and he is setting out to do all of them. |
| 0:43.5 | And when we talked, he had only done like, you know, a third of them maybe. |
| 0:49.0 | But he's at 203 right now out of 282. |
| 0:52.5 | So we need to get an update. |
| 0:53.9 | I'd love to talk to him when he's done to see |
| 0:55.8 | how like the second half of the experience is gone. But we, yeah, it's a long experience. As you can |
| 1:01.1 | imagine, just like any set of mountains can be from the 14ers to the Washington Bulgers to any |
| 1:07.6 | sort of long list can be a lifetime goal or definitely a multi-year goal for most people. |
| 1:12.1 | So of course, Sean has, you know, kids and a full-time job and all this stuff. |
| 1:17.3 | You've got to fit the adventures around. |
| 1:19.6 | And so it's pretty cool that he's been able to progress over the years to get closer and |

| 1:25.5 | So hope you enjoy this talk. He's very passionate. |
| 1:29.8 | Uh, it goes about it a really cool way and just loves what he's doing. So it is, I found it really |
| 1:34.6 | inspiring someone that can balance a normal life and doing something really cool. Check out his |
| 1:39.0 | Instagram too. He's constantly posting, uh, videos of like downhills after he climbs he's been rows and just what |
| 1:45.4 | it looks like. It's just absolutely stunning, as you can imagine. So without further ado, |
| 1:49.9 | let's go ahead and jump in. |
| 2:00.8 | Your name is Sean Green and you are biking up all of the Monroe's in Scotland? |
| 2:09.0 | Yeah, well, it's more about the biking down them. |
| 2:12.9 | There's maybe only about four or five of them that you could actually ride to the top. |
