Trish Patterson - Winter Dragon's Back FKT #181

Every so often, someone comes along who doesn’t just take on a challenge, they redefine what’s possible.

Today’s guest is exactly that. Trish Patterson is a force of nature: a runner with grit in her bones, fire in her stride, and a story that climbs higher than the ridgelines she loves. Whether she’s chasing FKTs, tackling brutal mountain routes, or simply showing what’s possible when determination meets heart, Trish brings an energy that lifts everyone around her.

In this episode, we dive into the mindset behind her biggest adventures, the moments that shaped her, and the resilience that keeps her pushing forward when the terrain gets rough and the doubts get loud. Trish doesn’t just run, she inspires, she challenges, and she reminds us why we fall in love with the mountains in the first place.
