<p>Today we are coming at you LIVE from <strong>Pacific Crest Trail Days (&quot;PCT Days&quot;) </strong>in Cascade Locks, Oregon! PCT Days is an annual thru-hiker gathering right on the border of Oregon and Washington - and right next to the iconic Bridge of the Gods. Here, <strong>Cheer talks with current and prior PCT hikers</strong> and asks them pointed questions about how their hike is going, or how it went if they hiked in prior years. </p><p><br></p><p>In part 1 of this LIVE podcast, <strong>we talk to</strong> <strong>Sparkle, MacGyver, Def Pos, and Pitch Perfect</strong>. Sparkle is attempting to break records, MacGyver is an alumni PCT hiker, Def Pos had a tumultuous but spiritual section hike, and Pitch Perfect contrasts the Continental Divide Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode, Cheer asks each guest:</strong></p><p>1. What&#39;s a moment from your hike that you&#39;ll always remember?</p><p>2. What was harder than you expected?</p><p>3. What was easier or better than you expected?</p><p>4. How has the trail changed you?</p><p><br></p><p>A big thank you to <a href="https://obozfootwear.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Oboz Footwear</strong></a> for giving us a home at PCT </p><p>Days this year!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow along with &quot;Sparkle&quot;:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sparklesummits/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>Instagram</strong>: https://www.instagram.com/sparklesummits/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow along with &quot;MacGyver&quot;:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/riggerx/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>Instagram</strong>: https://www.instagram.com/riggerx/</a></p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.polarsteps.com/Macgyverhiking?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAadCjM4AxvImUWqvuFxzsFW8cssoAXKcABmx8NL_IuwUjNujYCfkqWOfvxJ_EA_aem_fBLg_oXnAxPraadYrejGBQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Polar Steps</strong></a><strong></strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow along with &quot;Def Pos&quot;:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/defpos/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>Instagram</strong>: https://www.instagram.com/defpos/</a></p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@defpos" target="_blank
