146 | The Illegal Legend of Yosemite

There is something captivating about those who dive head first into danger. It is almost as if there is a second hand thrill that comes with hearing the stories of what they have lived, when they have leaned on adrenaline, skill and a bit of luck to see them through.

For Dean Potter, many saw his adventures, his dark arts, and the skill he brought to the walls and skies of Yosemite National Park. But it was the work he put in behind the scenes that had climbers and base jumpers everywhere looking up to him. Admiring him. Graham Hunt felt himself lucky to work along side Dean. But, as is all too common when living life on the edge, sometimes things go terribly wrong.

Welcome back to Tragedy with a View.

The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself. But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors.
