Mount Isolation & Recapping The Lincoln 100 with Nick Higgins, James Leitner, & Lynn Swezey

Nick is back from bagging Mount Isolation for Winter with a great group of folks, and the boys catchup with Nick Higgins, James Leitner, Lynn Swezey on the other side of The Lincoln 100!

Josh may be drinking too much seltzer, the boys discuss snow cleanup strategies at length, be careful taking your kiddos to the Fall River Children's Museum if you're looking to avoid sickness, Nick bags his #45 peak for the Winter 48 with Mount Isolation using the Engine Hill and Iso Express bushwhacks and has an very snowy early-morning commute up to the Rocky Branch trailhead, and Josh and Nick catchup with the runners and crew chief of The Lincoln 100; the brainchild of the late-Chris Roma, to run 100 miles on a ~3 mile loop in Lincoln, New Hampshire in support of Mission Clean Water! We get into the experience, Nick Higgins finishing the 100 miles in ~33 hours, why James called it at the 24 hour mark, amazing support from the community in the Whites, Lynn holding down "the tent" on route 3, staying up through 2 nights, fueling strategies, running hallucinations, plus we discuss the upcoming SnowSafe Summit event in Rumney, New Hampshire (2/14/25 - 2/15/25!!!) on this try-not-to-explode-after-you-take-your-bicarbs-episode of the PUDs Podcast!!!
