| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the adventure sports podcast. I am usually the host, but today we're |
| 0:25.4 | throwing this one back to 2015 with Jerry Roach. Jerry is what you call a legend. He has |
| 0:31.7 | climbed over 2000 mountains, the seven summits, all of Colorado's 14ers, and all of Colorado's 13ers, which there are |
| 0:39.3 | over 600 of, so pretty amazing accomplishments. And he has literally written the books on |
| 0:46.5 | climbing in Colorado. So if you have ever looked up a book on mountaineering in Colorado, |
| 0:52.5 | it's probably one of Jerry's books. |
| 0:56.2 | He's written like over a dozen books at this point. |

| 1:31.8 | Pick up one of Jerry's books, Micah, and who knows, maybe this is the start of it. |
