US18 Adirondacks Pop: Great Range Traverse

The Adirondacks Pop takes you across the legendary Great Range Traverse — one of the most demanding, dramatic, and iconic single‑day routes in the East. This episode drops you into the dark forests of Keene Valley at 4 a.m. and carries you peak by peak across the rooftop of the Adirondacks: Wolfjaws, Armstrong, Gothics, Saddleback, Basin, and finally Mount Marcy.This is a story about endurance — the kind you earn one slab, one ladder, one ridge, one breath at a time. You’ll move through root‑tangled forest, exposed rock, airy ridgelines, and billion‑year‑old alpine stone as the day unfolds in chapters. Along the way, we explore the human history of the High Peaks, the psychology of long‑form effort, and the quiet transformation that happens when you keep going long after your legs want to stop.If you’re listening to this, you’re already the kind of person who seeks the bigger version of your life. The Adirondacks Pop is your invitation to step into it.www.blisterpopadventurers.comUS18 — The Great Range Traverse  A climb across the rooftop of the Adirondacks.  Off you pop.Support the show
