I’ve followed Mark Lampman for a while now because he motivates me.  He’s nearly twice my age, but time and time again, he gets after it in the mountains. 

When I asked Mark to come on the podcast, I told him I wanted to hear his perspective. I wanted to learn what it was like from his point of view and understand why he does what he does. What I got in return were some great stories, a unique look into his journey with backpacking, and even more inspiration than before.
