Episode 183: Matt Pavitt, Maybe Masochistic
Description
Episode 183 of The Adventure Podcast features alpinist, skier, outdoor instructor, and climber, Matt Pavitt. Matt recently broke the fastest known time record for the winter Cuillin Ridge traverse. The ridge is a coveted prize and the previous record was impressive, so to see Matt break it was somewhat of a shock. In this episode, they discuss Matt's early life and what led him to move to Scotland rather than Chamonix or Canada. He talks about his career progression, and what it is that makes Scottish winter climbing so hard but so special, before detailing his Cuillin Ridge winter traverse - what happened on the route, regrets, and how the community responded to his record.
