The Fourth Pitch
Episode description
The first episode of the Mountain Wellness podcast will definitely have you hanging on the edge of your seat! Host Corey Reed and co-host Michael Maina tell the story about one of their favorite adventures together. With limited climbing experience they teamed up with Paradox Sports, which is a non profit organization that serves individuals with physical disabilities rock climbing and ice climbing, to attempt a multi-pitch climb in the famed Yosemite Valley. They talk about the challenges associated with Corey being a blind amputee climber, Mike capturing it on film, what their training looked like leading up to it, and one of the most nerve-racking moments Corey has ever had in the mountains that went down on the fourth pitch of the climb.
