Episode Eleven: Kelly Halpin – Solo in the Mountains

Kelly Halpin is a professional mountain runner and artist from Jackson, Wyoming. She holds speed records in Wyoming, Montana, Utah, and California, all on technical mountain terrain. Kelly thrives in the mountains, and often prefers to take on these massive endeavors totally alone. Most recently she completed the Wind River High Route, a 100-mile, extremely remote route through Wyoming’s Wind River Range. Solo and unsupported, Kelly was able to set a new speed record on the route.

This episode is full of laughs as we share stories about hallucinations, blisters, skinny dipping, and freezing dirt-naps. And Kelly reveals what might be the best superpower ever.
