“Enjoy the experience. Enjoy not just the summit, but enjoy the hike, enjoy the people that you’re hiking with, enjoy nature, enjoy the summit, enjoy the snacks that you’ve brought – and then, after the hike, go to the local brewery and talk about the hike with your friends. That’s a great experience.” – Pat Barczys

This week is challenge week! On the podcast is Pat Barczys, the founder of a new Adirondack Challenge called the ADK 6 Pack (www.adk6pack.com). This challenge combines two of my favorite things; mountains and beer. If you love taking on new challenges in the mountains and then rewarding yourself with a beer after, this episode and the ADK 6 Pack is for you. I am so excited for this challenge to go live on July 1st!

In this episode Pat and I talk about:

  1. Pat’s involvement in the Outdoor Club at the University at Buffalo.
  2. Who, What, Where, Why, How for the ADK 6 Pack Challenge.
  3. Spreading hikers around the entire Adirondacks rather than just the 46 High Peaks.
  4. How you can get involved and participate in the challenge.
