Grid Finisher Andrea Wojciak | All Things White Mountains, Hiking Lists, and Crewing Ultras - Ep.19

This week I sat down with my own mother who is quite the accomplished hiker. She is a Grid finisher, and has completed several hiking lists in New England including the 100 Highest, 67 4000 Footers, 52 With a View, Terrifying 25, and is in the middle of a Single Season Winter 48. We discussed all of these accomplishments and the trails and peaks associated with them. She gave some tips about things she has learned over the years and resources she still uses to plan her hikes today. We talked about a few under the radar hikes. And we went through her experience crewing me through a handful of my ultramarathon efforts over the years and some stories and lessons learned from those.I talked about my new microphone debacle and thinking my crappy laptop computer audio was the new professional mic for two straight hours and having a breakdown with Gemini trying to figure it out. No New England ultramarathon results from last weekend. 0:00 Intro3:50 New microphone debacle10:20 Andrea Wojciak Interview10:50 Hiking background and list accomplishments19:45 Future hiking goals27:30 Winter hiking talk34:10 Shout out Molly34:45 Most popular Grid Finish peaks38:00 Team North or Team South Hancock person?40:00 Biggest single day hikes47:30 Best NH 4k Hiking resources56:45 More winter hiking talk64:30 Crewing me in my first ultra68:00 Crewing me for Jigger Johnson 100 mile73:00 Crewing FKTs75:00 Lodge2dodge FKT Mishap81:30 Grid 2?
