In this episode you'll hear my conversation with Laurent Gaudreau (aka Maverick). Maverick has hiked the Grand Canyon, from rim to rim, over 100 times, and is currently attempting to hike it 80 times this year - one complete rim to rim hike for each year of age.

That's right, Maverick is 80 years old and going strong. When he's not hiking he's lifting weights. How many 80 year olds do you know who hike the Grand Canyon and pump iron?

Listen in and hear Maverick discuss his Grand Canyon adventures and the non-traditional gear that he uses.
