Episode 6: Alpine Practices with Nick Belcaster
Nick Belcaster works at the American Alpine Institute and serves as an educator for alpine climbers, mountaineers, and backpackers. He discusses why it’s so important to treat alpine environments differently as opposed to lower elevation trips. We discuss the logistics and how to use a Biffy Bag when you have to pack out your poos. Additionally, we talk about the Clean Mountain Can on Denali, a can used to hold your poop for the entire Denali Expedition which can take around 28 days!
Due to the high number of episode requests the podcast will be posted 3-4 times a month to keep up!. If there is someone you want to hear or think you personally would be a good fit for an in depth interview or an awesome poop story send us a message via email!
