141.) Summit Sessions #47: The Malcolm Traverse with Katie Rhodes

The 46 of 46 Podcast

Throughout the 1930s a fierce competition among several ‘mountain marathoners’ was unfolding here in the Adirondack Mountains. In 1932, Bob Marshall set the bar high with the now infamous ‘Bob Marshall Traverse’ covering 13 high peaks & Mt Jo. Not to be outdone, on July 29, 1936 Herbert L. Malcolm made the final known contribution to this friendly competition - climbing 12 high peaks, 5 low peaks and ascending 25,552 vertical feet in 24 hours.
On August 5, 2023 Katie Rhodes set out to follow in Malcolm's footsteps tackling the Malcolm Traverse and she's going to take us through the feat mountain by mountain.
