Episode 45 - Red Hats Ahoy! | Ben Towill

If I can climb 29,029 feet in 36 hours, with very little sleep and live to tell the tale…..What else can I do? 
If you are signed up for 29029 get ready to ask yourself this question when you get home from the mountain.  It’s inevitable.  Doing hard things is a key that unlocks future potential.  We gain a great perspective of what might be possible when we take on the seemingly impossible and find success. 
The tale we have to tell you today didn’t actually start on the mountain, but the mountain was pivotal in setting the course for this adventure.  
Ben Towill and Charlie Layton have a close relationship.  They are friends and business partners, but this test had nothing to do with business and everything to do with rowing a two-man boat thousands of miles from the Canary Islands across the Atlantic to the tiny Western Caribbean Island of Antigua.  
It’s probably important to note that Ben isn’t a rower, neither is Charlie.  They jumped feet first into a challenge that most people would say they had no business even attempting.  
Not to spoil the ending, but they make it and pull out of port wearing a 29029 RED hat!  
So let’s go back to that red hat, the first one Ben earned in Snowbasin 2021, when Ben and Charlie were still testing their relationship.
