Welcome to Catholic Stuff You Should Know, a J-10 initiative.

Hey, welcome to the podcast. This is Father Sean. And Father John. See, I give you time to speak your name. There you go.

That is true. Great to be with you today. You as well. Round two today. We're recording back-to-back episodes here. That's right. We've used you done all the kind of banter in the first one, so it's usually kind of like... You're so funny. Yeah, that's true. I don't know any good banter to talk about but yeah yeah i mean

we already talked about your birthday so what else is there to talk about well let's talk about

atlantic and pacific peaks that's right that you were up on um so uh father sean and i were

never uh done climbing together and sort of chipping away at these

centennials we've been talking about them. But that was kind of a cool day. You had, who was with

you on that one? Sean McGarity and John Rimstad. Okay. And which peak did you say mass on?

I said mass on Atlantic, which is what you had done as well. You said. So we climbed Atlantic first, had masks on top of that, and then we continued over to Pacific and then made a big loop and came back down. What are the, what's the, the class three? Is there a class three section coming down? There's not. So we avoid it. But the West Ridge of Pacific is a class three the kind of most people actually climb

Pacific first up that class three section uh and then the ridge is like class one class two

and then the classic uh descent on the west ridge of Atlantic which is what you and I had gone up

if anybody's ever listening to this looking for a peak, I know everybody likes to climb 14ers,

but 13ers are great because there's so little traffic on them. And this is a great, especially

Atlantic is a great hike if you're looking for, I don't know, what is it, like eight miles or

something. No, it's less than that. It was like five miles. Five miles. And it's just spectacular.

It's not too far from Copper Mountain if you're driving up into the mountains.

So Labor Day weekend here, advice from Father Sean and Father John.

Good little, I think kind of a little hidden gem right there in the 10-mile range that we both hiked and enjoyed the summer.

That's right.

And what was cool is you get to the top of Atlantic and you look over to Pacific and there's

the highest lake in North America there.

Oh, really?
