Episode 182: John Porter, A Path Of Shadows
Manage episode 421151106 series 2493141
Episode 182 of The Adventure Podcast features mountaineer, writer, historian and poet, John Porter. John is arguably one of the most accomplished but understated mountaineers of his generation. He made pioneering ascents of the North Face of Bandaka and the South Buttress of Changabang. Neither route has been repeated. In this episode, John talks to Matt about his early life and how he managed to avoid the Vietnam war draft, how he landed on his feet as part of blossoming British climbing scene and ultimately went on to climb with some of the very best mountaineers in the world on a string of world class expeditions. They touch on John’s approach to ethics, his views on modern mountaineering and expeditions, and what he’s doing with his days now that he’s, by his own admission, slowing down.
