The Season 2.12…Do The Math

In 2010, Greg Hill achieved the unthinkable. He ski toured two million vertical feet. He’d spent the prior decade prior shaping his body into a powder slaying weapon, sharpening his understanding of British Columbia’s sometimes dangerous snow pack and refining his mountain sense in order to travel safely, even on days when the avalanche danger crept into the red. Or as Greg puts it, “I used to be a mountain boy, but now I can grow a pretty decent mustache and I think of myself as a mountain man.” When he crossed the mark on the final day of 2010, everyone was curious– what’s next? Three million? Maybe not, but Greg has a few ideas.

The Season 2.11…A Choice

Craig DeMartino barely survived his 100 foot fall. After three months in the ER, critical care and rehabilitation centers, he was able to return home to his family and something that resembled his life before the accident. His frail body made living difficult and a rare nerve disorder brought on by the trauma only worsened the situation. Craig was faced with a decision. His right foot would never heal. He would never chase his kids across the backyard or climb again. But there was an option — amputation. It was a risk, but it seemed no foot might be better than a bad foot. Craig thought long and hard. In an attempt to get his life back, Craig decided he would rather be an amputee than spend the rest of his life regretting.

The Season 2.10…Top Dog

The Ghost Run exists. Top Dog proved it. The pictures taped to wall of the Salmon River Outpost are worth a thousand words. With the rising water from recent snow and rain, the fish are moving up river and Ryan goes to work floating and fishing the Klamath River and its tributaries. It’s said that steelhead are the fish of a thousand casts, but on a river that has felt the hand of man so powerfully — through dams, agriculture and overfishing — it might just take a few more casts.

Episode 2.9…Leaving Newfoundland

After Cedar was born, Thomasina moved back home and tried to make a go of settling down. Newfoundland provided a sense of home. It was a place where store owners knew locals’ names and people helped one another. She managed it for a few months, but after a while the nomadic climber in her needed to leave. For Thomasina, the only thing that could rival the Newfoundland community was the climbing community.
