Hans-Florine-Speedclimber-Nose-El-Capitan_1.pngIn this episode of Adventure Edge Radio we have news about a man who survived 5 days lost on Mount Adams in Washington State.

We'll tell you about the longest and highest bike ride ever – on a high wire. And, just in time for Halloween, we have a story about a Wisconsin man who paddled a 750-pound hollowed-out pumpkin 150 miles down the Wisconsin river for charity.

Our feature interview this week is with Hans Florine, who earlier this year, along with climbing partner Yuji Hirayama, broke the record for the fastest climb up the legendary Nose route on El Capitan in July. (And then last week, broke it again.)

In our gear highlight, we'll take a look at Gore Tex®, that most wonderful of fabrics, and we have the Last Word, too – some personal ruminations on the world of adventure.

Listen in and enjoy...
