The Deadliest Climb in American History | Denali 1967 Pt 1 - The Art of Adventure, Arthur Beale's podcast.

In the summer of 1967, twelve men, most of them strangers, set out to climb Denali, then known as Mount McKinley. Their leader, 24‑year‑old graduate student Joe Wilcox, had recruited nine climbers with almost no experience of the mountain. The remaining three were a Colorado team forced to merge with Wilcox’s group after losing a member in a car accident. It was an uneasy alliance on one of the harshest peaks in North America.

Denali then was a different world: no rescue service, no reliable forecasts, radios so weak messages had to be relayed through Fairbanks. The climb from base to summit is greater than Everest, and its Arctic position means the death zone begins far lower.

On 15 July, four men reached the summit in perfect weather. Three days later, seven more radioed from the top as cloud swallowed the mountain. It was the last transmission anyone ever heard. What followed was the worst storm ever recorded on Denali with climbers still on it.

Andy Hall joins Hugh Taylor for the first of a two-part series. An Alaskan journalist and former editor of Alaska magazine, Andy has a personal connection to this story: in 1967 his father, George Hall, was superintendent of the park, and Andy was five years old and living inside the crisis as it unfolded. His book Denali's Howl draws on five years of research - tracking down the survivors and rescuers, and unearthing the lost tapes and documents of that summer, including recorded interviews with his late father. Denali's Howl: The Deadliest Climbing Disaster on America's Wildest Peak is out now.

In Part 1: the mountain, the men, the merger that shouldn't have happened, and the decision to split the team that has been argued over ever since.

Arthur Beale’s podcast: The Art of Adventure brings you The Last Tourist in Russia - Arrested Walking Across Siberia | Charlie Walker

In February 2022, Charlie Walker flew to Russia to travel 600 miles alone across Arctic Siberia. Five days later, Russia invaded Ukraine. He had a narrow window to get out - and chose to stay and finish the walk, becoming very possibly the last Western tourist in Russia.

Walker set off on foot from the coldest inhabited place on earth, hiking frozen rivers and ice roads in temperatures down to minus 50. The expedition itself mostly went to plan. The problem was everything around it. With independent media silenced and a new law threatening 15 years in prison for "fake news" about the war, his presence was logged village by village and reported. By the time he reached the coast, he was expected. What followed was an interrogation, a fabricated case, and four weeks in a Russian prison - with the real risk of becoming a bargaining chip - before he was finally deported.

Charlie Walker - adventurer, author and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society - joins Hugh Taylor to tell the full story: why he carried on after the invasion, how he talked about the war without being drawn on it, the memory cards he had to keep hidden, and what it's like to be locked up abroad with no idea when, or whether, you'll get out.

Charlie's book, On Thin Ice: An Explorer's Memoir of Siberia, Surveillance, and Survival, is out now from Duckworth. https://www.cwexplore.com/

Not long now until the start of the Golden Globe Race, one of the toughest and purest tests of seamanship in the world.

At Arthur Beale, our heritage is built on the same principles that guide every skipper taking part: skill, resilience and respect for the sea. These values have shaped our work for more than 500 years, and they remain at the heart of this remarkable race.

As the skippers prepare to set off on their eight‑month, solo, round‑the‑world voyage, on 6th September, we’d like to wish every one of them fair winds, safe passage, and the strength to meet whatever the sea delivers. It’s an extraordinary undertaking, and we’ll be following their progress closely.

The Golden Globe Race embodies the spirit of traditional seamanship; navigating by the stars, trusting their craft and experience, and facing the ocean with determination. Racing like it’s 1968!

Listen to Don McIntyre, Race Founder and Chairman, in our recent podcast: https://pod.link/1876822929 or wherever you download your podcasts.

Arthur Beale’s podcast: The Art of Adventure Podcast brings you The Expedition That Nearly Killed a President | Theodore Roosevelt

In 1914, former US President Theodore Roosevelt nearly died in the Amazon. Feverish and delirious from an infected wound, he asked his son to leave him behind, and he carried a lethal dose of morphine in case the end came.

Roosevelt had gone to Brazil after losing the 1912 election, the strongest third-party run in American history. A planned speaking tour turned into an expedition to chart the River of Doubt, an uncharted Amazon tributary, alongside the Brazilian explorer Cândido Rondon. It went badly wrong: wrong boats, a drowned crew member, a murder among the men, malaria, starvation, and the leg injury that nearly killed Roosevelt before they reached safety.

Dr Michael Cullinane, Walton Chair of Theodore Roosevelt Studies, joins Hugh Taylor to tell the full story. What happened on the river, how Roosevelt survived it, and why a man who had already been almost everything kept throwing himself at the unknown.

For Roosevelt's own account, the Theodore Roosevelt Center holds a free digital archive of his letters home at http://theodorerooseveltcenter.org . Candice Millard's The River of Doubt is the definitive account of the expedition, and Darrin Lunde's The Naturalist traces where Roosevelt's love of the wild began.

Dismasted in the Southern Ocean: Lisa Blair’s Solo Record Around Antarctica

Some stories from the sea stay with you. This is one of them.

Seventy-two days into her attempt to sail solo around Antarctica, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest land, Lisa Blair's mast came down in a storm. She was alone, outside rescue range, in the most hostile stretch of water on the planet. She fought through the night to save the boat and her life - and then, having lost the record she had spent years chasing, she had to decide what to do next.

Lisa joins Hugh to tell the full story, and why she has learned to celebrate the small wins rather than the finish line. And she explains why the records were never really the point.

In July 2027 she sets out on the Arctic Impact Project, an attempt to be the first person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the Arctic Circle in a single season. It is a voyage that has only become possible because the ice is disappearing.

This is a conversation about resilience, seamanship, climate reality and the quiet determination that drives extraordinary sailors forward.

Lisa Blair's book Facing Fear is out now: lisablairsailstheworld.com.
