In this debut episode of North of Normal with Amanda McKeen, we sit down with Mike Cherim—owner of Redline Guiding, adventurer, storyteller, and one of the most respected figures in the White Mountains.
It’s an unscripted conversation that covers a lot of ground: what it takes to start a guiding company in the Whites, the realities of search and rescue, officiating weddings at trailheads, and why resilience matters now more than ever. There’s wisdom, humor, and a few surprises—including a cameo from Mike’s dog Rosie if you’re listening closely.
Real stories, raw conversation, and one unforgettable guest.
