So many outdoor accidents can be prevented.
But what if, somewhere… a culture existed where people could feel comfortable sharing their mistakes without shame or blame?
I am trying so hard to create that very culture.
This is the Sharp End Podcast. A platform aimed at ‘minimizing future outdoor accidents by way of storytelling. Real people, sharing real stories.’
No shame, no blame. Simply a place where people can share lessons learned- so every single person in this outdoor community can grow, play hard, and be smart.

The Sharp End Mini Series: Share Your Story!
Hi friends! I am starting to work on a new type of content project for The Sharp End and am now accepting volunteers to share their story!
I would like to feature mini conversations where listeners can submit a brief description of what happened and a 3-7 minute audio recording during their near miss or accident while out in the backcountry. Please fill out this form if you are interested in sharing your near miss! Recordings can be submitted to: thesharpendpodcast@gmail.com
Your vulnerability is SO appreciated and could be instrumental in saving someone’s life. THANK YOU!

Consider buying me chai tea once a month! That’s only $5.00 a month which equals $60.00/year. Not too much to ask, eh? This would help the success of my podcast greatly. If you find that you learn lessons from this podcast, that means you’ve found value here! I invite you to donate to the show and help my podcast grow. Thank you very much to everyone who has supported my growth thus far. I am extremely grateful!
In this episode, Jason Martin, my friend and director of the American Alpine Institute, shares his insights on risk management in climbing and outdoor activities. He discusses personal experiences with accidents, the importance of mental health for guides, and the complacency that can arise from familiarity with certain climbing areas. The conversation also delves into heuristics in decision-making, cultural biases that affect risk perception, and the differences in risk-taking behavior between personal and professional settings. Jason emphasizes the importance of safety gear and protocols, and the need for continuous education in risk management.
