Doing Stuff Outdoors-56

It's a hot and humid summer day so Gary records the show out on his deck complete with a fake babbling brook. He'll explain. Our feature item is another segment on rock climbing. We'll meet up with two buddies as they prepare to climb a particularly challenging route. We'll find out why they do what they do and what the sport means to them.

Also on the show your comments on the high price of gas and the affect it's having on your ability to get to outdoor places. We'll hear from a listener who has taken up running and shed 30 pounds in the process. Another listener calls in a comment about the use of mp3 players in the outdoors. Gary has the story of an Oregon man who completes a 320-kilometre flight in his lawn chair and some good news for older runners concerned about their knees. And we'll feature a podsafe tune from Barb Carbon.

Next time on the show.... kids and fishing. Call the comments line at 206.600.4557 or send an email to [e-mail]
