The Sharp End Podcast is a safe, judgment free space to share near misses and accidents. Let's learn!

We all need to shift our way of thinking about accidents and intentionally create a culture that allows people to share their stories, judgment, shame, and guilt-free. It’s easy to be an armchair expert, but it’s not that easy to listen and learn. By doing that, we can all grow into a much stronger outdoor community by learning from each other and supporting one another along the way.

is a Colorado-based company that creates award-winning backcountry radios. Jay was able to field test these radios in some of the most remote river canyons the North Country has to offer. He was amazed and shocked with their waterproof performance and ability to communicate in confined places. Rocky Talkie radios are lightweight, durable, and will last for over four days on a single charge, even in extremely cold temperatures. So, whether you’re backcountry skiing, sledding, ice climbing, or gearing up for a big Spring objective, Rocky Talkie keeps you connected.

After listening to Episode 110, what resonated with you the most? For me, it was the idea of scarcity. The feeling that after all the effort to get there, ‘we have to do it.’ How has this very human factor influenced your decision-making in the backcountry?

My guest in this month’s episode set out with a good friend to ski some specific objectives. They started from sea level and toured way up the mountain. This incident happened in Sogndal, Norway. The two of them had a steady ski tour and took the most direct route. Unfortunately, the weather changed and the higher they got, the worse the snow conditions became. This interview is one of only a handful of international episodes that I have produced and I want to help him share his story because Pär is a survivor. He has tenacity and grit, and I am so excited for you to hear his full story.

The Alpine Mountaineering and Technical Leadership Series is considered the most comprehensive and instructional climbing and mountaineering program in the United States. The series comprises four 12-day programs that may be taken individually or in direct succession to each other.

Participants learn the art of alpinism by developing rock climbing, glacier mountaineering, and ice climbing skills in Washington’s rugged Cascade Mountains.

For those who cannot take 12 days away from their busy lives, there are many shorter courses at AAI. Combined, these shorter programs provide the same outcomes as the longer series. Learn more today at alpineinstitute.com (link in IG bio)!
