On the latest podcast episode, Steve and Alyssa welcome Chantelle and her athlete, Branden Joy, to discuss Branden’s self-designed Scandinavian Arctic Traverse. The route spanned nine hundred and eighty-five miles of which Branden covered using a backcountry ski set up and a snow kite, all while pulling a sled full of his supplies. The four discuss Branden’s background in endurance sports and the unique journey he has taken to create his own endurance adventures. Chantelle and Branden explain Branden’s unique training situation of living and working in Antarctica prior to his traverse, and how they adapted to prepare him for the journey. The four dig into the deeper meanings and findings that come from endurance endeavors and explore the why behind what we search for in the mountains.
