PODCAST

Of Mice and Mountaineers

Of Mice and Mountaineers is the audio collection of one particularly unathletic outdoor enthusiast’s tales of sometimes barely surviving said outdoors, mostly the Colorado Rocky Mountains and the 14,000-foot peaks crowning them.

Snowflakes for the Simpering

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2025/01/06

The Winterlude continues with the comparatively short story of my first calendar winter ascent of a 14,000' mountain...which, despite its brevity compared to most of my mountain stories, was nevertheless more interesting than it had any right to be.Written version: https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=19994

Cultivating TallGrass to Get out of Deep Snow

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/12/20

This Winter Solstice special episode introduces a real character who would become a key player in some of my final 14,000' mountains while hinting at the "joys" of winter climbing...if one can even get to the trailhead without needing a pricy holiday tow to get back out, that is.

A Bloody Dramatic Season Finale

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/09/16

In this real head-banger of a finale to Of Mice and Mountaineers' first season, I prove that I learned absolutely nothing about staying out of trouble throughout my first fourteen years of climbing fourteeners.Written version here: https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=22817

Tying Loose Ends on Mountains That Don't Require Ropes

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/09/09

In the second-to-last episode for this podcast's first season, I revisit several fourteeners that required more than one attempt each before I finally saw their summits, which would’ve been way less embarrassing if more than one had even been literally in the same range as peaks that real climbers use to practice for the Alps or Himalayas.

Better Remembrances of Things Past

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/08/26

This is a monumental moment in Of Mice and Mountaineers history. No, not the start of smooth sailing free from further Search and Rescue incidents, alas. But it does mark an unironic tribute to some fourteeners I genuinely enjoyed (plus a few I…didn’t) as well as the beginning of writing about them as soon as they happened, not to mention determining that at least one English major is just as terrible at math as stereotypes would indicate, to go by a peak-counting error that went uncaught until well

Come Hail or High Pointers

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/08/19

Training for the Big Event of my peakbagging career - Mt. Whitney, high point of California as well as the Lower 48 + Hawaii - proved that I really had learned something from Colorado fourteeners, namely that I really suck at outrunning thunderstorms.

The Long White Whale, Part II

2024/08/06

Baby’s First Search and Rescue and fourteener-related hospital visit finally take place, though not until after I’d received visits from Jim Morrison and a mystery lover. Written version here: https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=22673&cpgm=tripmine

The Long White Whale, Part I

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/08/06

Published on a different day from my normal schedule so it would be released in time for the tenth anniversary of Baby’s First Search and Rescue encounter - arguably the "best" part of a Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day - I finally talk in full detail about the questionable decision-making that led me to name Longs Peak my first nemesis fourteener.

A Long Prelude to Longs

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/07/26

The build-up between my first attempt of the Front Range’s most obnoxious fourteener and my summit was more dramatic than the five fourteeners I summited in the interim…not that those summits weren’t a Massive undertaking in their own way.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Hiking without a Hitch

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/07/15

My fifth or sixth summit of a fourteener, depending on how one counts, proved to me years too late that one should always listen to advice from one’s father about getting into a car with a stranger. (Script for this episode here: https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=22622)

It Was the Highest of Times, It Was the Lowest of Times

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/07/08

Reflecting on climbing the highest mountain in Colorado also made me reflect on the nature of the relationships, romantic and otherwise, that were bringing me down at the same time. (Link to written version here: https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=22595)

Return of the Whining

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/07/01

A third outing in Colorado’s fourteeners may not have been as epic as Lord of the Rings, but there was a volcano involved. (Link to written version: https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=22580)

Love’s Labors Lost Above the Fruited Plain

Of Mice and Mountaineers ·

2024/06/24

Getting revenge for a failed attempt on America's Mountain helped prove to me that mountains may be Romantic in the capital-R sense that inspired poets like Katharine Bates, but they are not conducive to romance in the lowercase sense.
