Jason Hardrath & The Rocky Mountain Grand Slam (Ep.180)

The “Rocky Mountain Grand Slam”: it involves summiting 122 peaks and 318,000 feet of elevation gain (the equivalent of summiting Everest 11 times from sea level). And Vuori & Athletic Brewing athlete, Jason Hardrath, recently set a new FKT by completing it in under 40 days. So on our latest Off The Couch podcast Jonathan Ellsworth catches up with Jason to break down his most recent accomplishment, and to discuss the blurring of the lines between running, scrambling, and soloing.
