Alex Honnold and co-host Fitz Cahall welcome Jim Morrison to the stage for a live episode of the Climbing Gold podcast at Outside Days.
Morrison is coming off a year that included what’s been called the most audacious ski descent in history—linking technical lines on Mount Everest’s Hornbein Couloir. Honnold brings a career defined by free solo ascents and a relentless focus on precision, control, and commitment at the edge of consequence.
Together they will explore risk, resilience, and what it means to fully commit when the margin for error disappears. Don’t miss it, live at Outside Days on May 31 from 5:30-6:30pm.
Learn more about all the speakers coming to Outside Days at the link in our bio.

I have known this guy Fitz Cahall for 18 years now, starting with his legendary podcast The Dirtbag Diaries (which will turn 20 in 2027!). It was a true joy to have him on my little podcast, My Favorite Things, so we could talk about some of the creative works that have shaped his life: Public Enemy’s Apocalypse 91, A River Runs Through It, the sound of a dialup modem, The Gap by Ira Glass, and in this clip, Winnie the Pooh. Link to full episode in my bio.

Not just any rock. Portable, a toaster size piece of granite and a beloved fixture of the Canadian climbing scene, might be the world’s most famous boulder. And then it disappeared.
When it resurfaced in the California desert, professional climber @ethansalvo thought he knew how to bring it home. Turns out, it wouldn’t be that simple.

Come learn how adventure can shape you from 3 heroes of mine in different stages of life who have dedicated themselves to the mountains.
Each of these people has inspired me to dream bigger and be humbler. Mountains create peak experiences but what makes them truly enchanting is the never-ending education they provide over a lifetime.
Out of the Wild will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 pm on Tuesday March 31 at the Black Diamond retail store on Stone Way in Seattle. Registration link in my bio. Please share this with your friends in Seattle who can’t stay away from the mountains.

Somewhere on a long trail run, @andrewfitts realized something was missing. As he brought others in (@ianmaclellan ) he discovered @rickeygates was after the same idea, completing North America’s 50 Classic Trails and shaping the future of the sport.

Time spent outside as kids can extend into our adult lives in incredible ways. @jayinslee ’s passion for being outside shaped his path from his three terms as governor of Washington all the way to the national level.
His pioneering policy work is having an impact in Washington state and proving that change is possible if we bring our determination to the world’s biggest problems.

UPDATE: Last night (12/18), Senator Mike Lee pulled the amendment to sell National Parks. Your calls showed how unpopular this idea is.
BUT, the senate left for recess before voting. AND Lee is still tinkering with the language.
So keep letting your Senators know how you feel about National Parks, especially if you live in ID, MT, NC or PA.
----
@senmikelee is back at it again. He’s introduced an amendment that could open the door to selling or transferring National Park units. No matter your politics, our national parks are shared treasures and should never be for sale.
Call or write your Senator and urge them to oppose this amendment. If you’re in Pennsylvania, Montana, Idaho, or North Carolina, your voice matters most. Our parks aren’t for sale. Link in bio to get started.
How did the simple joy of skiing become so complicated? Over the past year, @fitzcahall and @shredskyy found a beacon of light in all the doom-trollers and scrollers, a story of the Bend community trying to take back the joy and stoke.
What began as a simple Facebook thread snowballed into a $100 million local bid that collided with Wall Street, climate pressures, and the hard truth that skiing is no longer a simple business.

Only two days left to stand up for the Roadless Rule. 🚨 Since 2001 it’s protected 25,121 miles of hiking trails, 10,000+ miles of bike routes, 8,659 climbing routes, 768 miles of whitewater, and 58 million acres of national forests—keeping water clean and forests wild. 🌲 Now the USDA wants to dismantle it.
Join us and add your voice by September 19. Link in bio.
