Weatherproof
Getting outside isn’t just about first ascents and bagging peaks —its about exposing our vulnerabilities, learning new skills, being honest with ourselves and open with others.
In each episode, we dive into how outdoor adventure builds connection, challenges who we are, and helps us be better people, partners and friends.
With some helpful tips and tricks thrown in, whether you’re just starting out or looking for real talk about why outdoor adventure sometimes seems SO hard, there’s a place in this conversation for you!
