Welcome to the Monday minute of the Huntback Country podcast.

These are shorter and more informal episodes.

This is Mark, joined as usual by Steve, and we just got back yesterday, Steve, from some

travels and an adventure in the Grand Canyon with the Death Hike.

How you feel this morning?

Body, I mean, body wise, 100% except for my damn knees.

But yeah, other than that, I feel fantastic.

Well, we are, we'll chat here about the death hike, but just so you guys know right

off the bat, this is not going to be a full recap.

We're going to get some of the other guys on, kind of share some stories, lessons learned and all that as we usually do. So it'll be more to come with other voices and other perspectives. Overall, Steve, it was, I don't know. Like people want to know, was it a success? Was it not? I

think that really depends on the person, their perspective, their goals going into it. I mean,

obviously there was this idea of doing the double traverse, the rim to rim to rim day one and

then repeating, which some guys did, teaser. And we'll tell those full

stories. And then some guys didn't do that, but did more than they did last time, did faster than

they did last time, things like that. So again, there's all kinds of perspectives and experiences

and more to come. But just for you and I to touch on a few things,

I guess, right off the bat, what's just, I mean, because we haven't had this conversation.

What's your head out? What's the takeaway from you? How do you feel about the whole experience?

Whether that was your hike experience or just you putting together this hike and looking at

like what happened for everyone collectively.

Yeah.

I think one observation was this is, it's like a little bit different format than other hikes
