About this listen

In this episode, Lindsay shares the story of her first solo hike into the Adirondack High Peaks—tackling Cascade and Porter, numbers 1 and 2 on her journey to become a 46er.

From freezing temps and gear decisions to calf-deep mud and a surprise family legacy, this is a story about more than just reaching a summit—it's about discovering how far ruck training, self-trust, and a little grit can take you.

Whether you're planning your first high peak or just need a push to take the next step, this one's for you.
