In this episode of the OutThere Colorado Podcast, Spencer McKee chats with Christian Beckwith, veteran alpinist and climbing historian, about the US Army's iconic 10th Mountain Division. Topics discussed range from how the 10th's need for mountain combat gear influenced a lot of the outdoor recreation gear still used today to how a seemingly impossible 10th Mountain Division mission in treacherous terrain changed the course of World War II. Christian Beckwith is the host of the Ninety-Pound Rucksack podcast, which provides a deeper dive into the topic of the 10th Mountain Division.
