| 0:00.0 | Imagine you're out on a hike. It's a beautiful day. There's a gentle breeze. It's warm, but not too hot. |
| 0:09.7 | You get to the top of a mountain and you eat some chocolate and you look around and there's this gorgeous panorama of mountains spread out in every direction. |
| 0:23.2 | You pull out your map to figure out what you're looking at, but the map only shows the immediate vicinity. So what do you do? Lucky for us, there's an app out |
| 0:32.4 | there that can help. It's called PeakVisor. PeakVisor is one of our sponsors this season. |
| 0:39.3 | When you open up their app, it figures out where you are, and then it tells you all the mountains you're looking at. |
| 0:45.6 | If you'd like your own personal mountain guide, check out PeakVisor in the app store. |

| 0:57.0 | Hi! store. You just might love it. Hi, I'm Willow Belden and you're listening to Out There, the podcast that explores big |
| 1:04.0 | questions through intimate stories outdoors. As the world reopens, many of us are returning to the things we used to love, things we did before the pandemic. |

| 1:49.0 | Today's story is about a trip up Mount Everest. But before we get to that, I have a favor to ask. |
| 1:58.0 | Out There is an independent podcast. That means we have a lot of editorial freedom. We can tell |
| 2:05.0 | the stories we really want to tell, stories that push boundaries, stories that make a real |
| 2:10.4 | difference in people's lives. But being independent also means that money is always tight, really, really tight. |
| 2:20.5 | Which is why I'm turning to you for support. |
| 2:24.3 | If Out There brightens your day at all, consider becoming a patron. |
| 2:29.5 | Patrons are listeners who make monthly contributions to Out There through a crowdfunding platform called |
