Episode 69 The Calendar Year Triple Crown with Tyler Lau - a podcast by Emory R. Wanger

from 2019-03-11T13:00

:: ::

Tyler “The Prodigy” Lau completed the Calendar Year Triple Crown in 2018. That means, he hiked the PCT, CDT, and AT all in one single year. That’s a huge accomplishment and one that he’ll probably be digesting for years to come.

On this episode, I have the opportunity to pick his brain about why, how, and what it all means now that it’s over with. To say the least, there is a load of great information in this episode and it’s coming from a guy who just spent a lot of time on trail going through some incredible landscapes and situations.

Please enjoy!
