Andrew has been sport climbing for around 10 years and wanted to get some alpine/mountaineering experience under his belt. He did a handful of mountaineering climbs leading up to this particular climb (one being Mt Whitney) and then he and his climbing partner set their eyes on Mount Baldy, the highest peak in the San Bernardino Mountains in California, sitting at 10,064 feet. On January 19, 2019 he set out to climb this peak with his climbing partner and his Golden Retriever, Charlie. Listen into this episode to hear what caused Andrew’s 1,000 foot fall on this mountain and what he learned from this experience.
