The Hike from Hell - Grand Canyon North to VERY SOUTH!
Six co-workers. One canyon. No mercy. In this episode, Hans and Payal Patel recount the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim hike that pushed their team to the edge—physically and mentally. Over 24 punishing miles of heat, steep climbs, and endless effort, this wasn’t a bonding trip—it was survival. No injuries, no excuses—just pure agony, grit, and the relentless drive to finish what they started. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to walk through hell and come out stronger on the other side, this one’s for you. North Rim to South. VERY South!
