Podcasts about Cho Oyu

Carlos Suárez, de 52 años, era uno de los más destacados montañeros y alpinistas españoles. La montaña era el centro de su vida y además de montañero fue trailrunner, escritor y practicante de salto base, escalando en grupo y en solitario, con cuerdas y sin ellas. Carlos Suárez fue el primer escalador en conquistar la cara Oeste del Naranjo de Bulnes en estilo solo integral, hizo cumbre en ocho miles como el Cho Oyu y realizado expediciones a otros como el K2, fue campeón de España de escalada deportiva en velocidad y Team Manager del equipo Adidas Terrex, marca a la que estuvo ligado durante casi toda su carrera deportiva. Le recordamos, en un Sweet Home Alabama muy especial, junto a Darío Rodríguez.

Il viennese Herbert Tichy è al comando della spedizione diretta al Cho Oyu nel 1954. Con i suoi 8.201 metri di quota è la sesta montagna più alta del pianeta, la quinta ad aver accolto in vetta l'essere umano. Due anni prima dello stravagante austriaco, alcuni uomini trovarono un passaggio a N-O per una possibile ascesa. Si chiamavano Edmund Hillary e George Lowe, entrambi protagonisti sulla montagna più alta del mondo nel 1953.www.storiedimontagna.comContatti: andataeritorno.podcast@gmail.com Iscriviti alla newsletterLa nostra pagina InstagramIl nostro profilo LinkedInMusic by Epidemic SoundCrediti immagine

Jane Kanizay is an adventurer, educator, activist, speaker, artist and mother of four who on 14 May 2022 successfully climbed Mt. Everest with her 19-year-old daughter. Jane enjoys sharing the highs and lows of her Everest experience and the journey of resilience required to take on such an immense challenge as a survivor. Jane climbed with the message of @teachusconsent to campaign for holistic consent education in school education curriculum and to advocate for the prevention of violence against women. To have a message to take to the summit provided additional strength on the days Jane had reached her physical or emotional limits. High altitude mountaineering is one of the deadliest sports in the world. Jane successfully summited mountains above 6000m plus an 8000m summit of Cho Oyu, Tibet, to prepare her for the extreme environment of Everest, considered to be in the ‘death zone' above 8000m where oxygen content is only 34% compared with sea level. Listening to Jane on the Tough Girl Podcast offers a rare insight into the mental and physical fortitude it takes to summit Everest, but also the deeper purpose behind her journey.  Through her incredible story, Jane not only inspires adventurers but also advocates for change, sharing how carrying a message of consent and empowerment gave her the strength to push through her limits.  Her story will resonate with anyone looking to overcome challenges, build resilience, and find purpose in their own lives.   Don't miss out on the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, released every Tuesday at 7am UK time!

Meu convidado tem uma história bastante peculiar. Apesar de ter nascido e vivido no Brasil até os 33 anos, faz três décadas e meia que não possui residência fixa. Vive literalmente rodando o mundo atrás de experiências e sonhos, que o proporcionaram uma vida pouco ortodoxa para os padrões que conhecemos. Nascido no interior do Rio Grande do Sul, com 1 ano de idade mudou-se para Porto Alegre e com 11 veio morar em São Paulo. Durante alguns anos praticou natação e atletismo. Depois de formar-se em pediatria, decidiu mochilar por dois anos pela Europa e Ásia, atrás das sensações que havia vivido alguns anos antes, durante uma viagem que fez à Bolívia e ao Peru, quando pisou em uma montanha nevada pela primeira vez. De volta ao Brasil, começou a trabalhar e ao longo de cinco anos, percebeu que a vida que levava não fazia sentido. Em 1989, então com 33 anos, largou a profissão, namorada, familiares, amigos e partiu, sem passagem de volta, rumo ao desconhecido. Seu primeiro destino, Katmandu. Nunca antes ou depois sentiu-se tão livre, tão aberto para o que a vida lhe apresentaria. Foi o ano mais importante da sua vida e viajar passou a fazer parte da sua rotina. Em 1992 abriu sua primeira empresa de turismo, levando brasileiros para viajar pelos lugares que amava. Desde então vem adquirindo uma vivência única e guiando centenas de pessoas por inúmeros países. Em sua convivência com as culturas asiáticas acabou entrando em contato com yoga, meditação e o budismo, que influenciaram profundamente sua maneira de ver o mundo. Também teve a oportunidade de praticar vários esportes de aventura como o caiaque, o rafting, a vela, o ciclo turismo e a escalada em rocha e em gelo. Estar rodeado por montanhas nevadas, porém, é o que faz com que se sinta mais realizado. Escalou dezenas de montanhas do mundo, entre elas o Sajama, na Bolívia, o Chimborazo no Equador, o Damavand, no Irã. Em 2009 escalou o Cho Oyu, a sexta montanha mais alta do planeta, para em maio de 2010, colocar os pés no cume do Everest, tornando-se o oitavo brasileiro a chegar ao topo do mundo. Em dezembro de 2011 concluiu a escalada da montanha mais alta de cada continente, o chamado Sete Cumes, tornando-se o segundo brasileiro a conquistar este feito. Durante seis anos dividiu seu tempo entre as montanhas realizando suas próprias expedições ou guiando seus clientes e seu veleiro “Good Karma”, fazendo a circunavegação do planeta. Ele foi de São Paulo ao topo do Aconcágua pedalando, remando, correndo e escalando. De bicicleta, viajou duas vezes mais de 3.000km pelo Himalaia Indiano e veio da Austrália até o Brasil. Já correu algumas maratonas e recentemente aprendeu a velejar de Kitesurfe. Ano passado tornou-se o primeiro latino americano a completar o mais exigente trekking de longa duração do planeta, o Great Himalayan Trail, onde atravessou em 125 dias o Nepal de leste a oeste por trilhas próximas à fronteira com o Tibete. Para ele, só existe uma maneira de fazer algo bem feito. É fazer com amor, com todo o coração. Conosco aqui, o montanhista, hiker, médico, velejador, empreendedor, guia de montanha que vive viajando e já esteve  77 vezes no Campo Base do Everest. Um especialista em realizar sonhos e ajustar o seu rumo em busca do verdadeiro sentido da vida, doutor formado pela Escola Paulista de Medicina com PH.d e Pós doc em felicidade, o farroupilhense Manoel Augusto Monteiro Morgado.

Fue uno de los primeros invitados al podcast cuando empezamos, y es de esos montañeros a los que siempre es necesario escuchar. En tiempos de récords y de aventuras mediáticas, queríamos charlar con Fernando Garrido, la primera persona en subir un 'ochomil' en invierno y en solitario y que sigue haciendo de la montaña su medio de vida. Desde Jaca, con la empresa Aragón Aventura, te puede llevar a cualquier rincón del globo. El madrileño de Jaca nos cuenta cosas sobre la soledad y lo solitario, sobre el Cho-Oyu y el Aconcagua, también sobre el anonimato cuando guía y sobre otras muchas cosas relacionadas con la vida... y con la muerte.

Etwa eine Woche vor unserem Interview hat Böhm gemeinsam mit seinem Partner, dem Bergführer Prakash Sherpa, in zwölf Stunden und 35 Minuten den Cho Oyu, den sechsthöchsten Berg der Erde, bestiegen. Böhm steht noch unter den Eindrücken der Expedition, als das Interview geführt wird. Und so startet Made in Green in dieser Ausgabe mit Eindrücken aus Tibet, einem Land, welches unter dem starken Einfluss leidet. Mit Böhm geht es danach weiter auf eine Themenreise rund um die Nachhaltigkeits-Strategie der Marke Dynafit. Hier steht der im Oktober angelaufene Service »Lifetime Guarantee« im Mittelpunkt. Langlebigkeit von Produkten wird dabei von der Marke anders interpretiert als gewöhnlich.

Norwegian Kristin Harila, 37, Tenjen (Lama) Sherpa summited all fourteen 8000ers in three months and 1 day (92 days.) The first was Shishapangma on April 26, 2023, and the last K2 on July 27, 2023. In 2022, Harila summited twelve of the fourteen, but China refused them entry into Tibet to attempt Shishapangma and Cho Oyu thus, she returned this year to complete her project. She is no stranger to mountaineering. In 2021, she became the fastest woman to climb Everest and Lhotse in a record 12 hours. The 36-year-old is from Vadso/Norway and is a former cross-country skier. Today, she claims her profession as a runner, skier and former mountaineer as she announced she is retiring from climbing with the end of this project. While she came to mountaineering late, she's summited twenty-eight 8000-meter peaks since her first, Everest, in 2021 and made a name for herself with several records, including: Fastest person, together with Sherpa Lama overall, to True summit all 14 peaks over 8000m in 3 months and 1 day (July 27th, 2023) Fastest person overall to summit the five highest mountains in the world in 69 days, Everest, K2, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu. Fastest woman to climb Mount Everest, 8848 and Mount Lhotse, 8516, in less than 8 hours on May 23rd, 2023. The previous record for reaching the true summits of the 8000ers was five years and four months by Nirmal Purja Pun Magar. Both climbers have been criticized by some in the climbing community for climbing with too many Sherpas, using supplemental oxygen and using helicopters to fly from mountain to mountain. Harila's journey was not with controversy. They included switching teams and Sherpas from 2022 to 2023, using helicopters to fly Sherpas to Camp 2 on Manaslu, and the one that caught global attention when a High Altitude Porter, Muhammad Hassan, not climbing with her team died on K2. Her team gave aid, but he died. A video taken hours later showed other climbers, not Harila's team stepping over the dead body on the way to the summit. Harila was widely criticized for his death, yet her team did everything to save his life. The Pakistani government investigated the incident and posted a detailed report clearing Harila's team of any wrongdoing and gave her photographer, Gabriel Tarso, an “appreciation letter” for his effort to save a life that night. We explore all of these controversies in detail in this podcast. This is the full report for download: Muhammad Hussain's Death on K2 and Kristin's report on her website. A GoFundMe account is open for donations to support Mr. Hassan's family. Climb On!AlanMemories are Everything --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/alan-arnette1/support

[Montagnes Podcast - Épisode 11] Sophie Lavaud au Dhaulagiri, son 12ème 8000 C'est une nuit noire, sans lune. Au loin, on aperçoit les frontales de l'équipe de tête, qui bataille depuis des heures pour ouvrir la trace vers le sommet du Dhaulagiri. Sophie Lavaud se décrit comme une femme ordinaire avec un rêve extraordinaire. En 2012, elle marque les esprits en grimpant le Shishapangma et le Cho Oyu. C'est alors qu'une idée folle germe dans sa tête : gravir les 14 8000. Depuis, Sophie ne quitte plus l'Himalaya. Everest, Makalu, Broad Peak... elle multiplie les ascensions. En octobre 2019, elle attaque son 12ème 8000, le Dhaulagiri, perché à 8167 mètres. Une première tentative, une seconde, puis une troisième, Sophie enchaîne les échecs mais elle ne lâche rien. En 2021, elle est de retour pour la quatrième fois, si proche de réaliser son rêve mais rien n'est fini. Chaque 8000 est une épreuve qui réserve toujours son lot de surprises.

Today, Billi Bierling is a renowned mountaineer. However, it wasn't always like that; in fact when she was growing up she almost felt slightly oppressed by the snowy peaks surrounding her hometown in Germany.   So what changed? Simple. A trip to Nepal in 1998, where she fell in love with the mountains and started high-altitude climbing. Since then, she has scaled six of the 14 8,000m-peaks, namely Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Manaslu (fore summit) and Broad Peak – the latter three she summited without the help of supplemental oxygen. In 2004, Billi started assisting the late Elizabeth Hawley with her work documenting expeditions to the Nepal Himalayas. Together with a team, Billi continues to interview expedition leaders for Liz Hawley's archive, which is now called 'The Himalayan Database'.   When she is not gallivanting around the high Himalayas or chasing expeditions in Kathmandu, Billi works for Swiss Humanitarian Aid as a communications expert, writes mountaineering articles for German and English-speaking magazines, translates or writes books and leads mountain treks and expeditions in Nepal and around the world. In short, she's a busy person, which makes the time she spent with Kenton recording this podcast all the more valuable.  - Sponsors - @lasportivauk @petzl_official @Arcteryxuk @landrover @lyonequipment @crudecoffeeroasters @evileye.eyewear @reality.maps @incoolcompany @bremontwatches @scallop.offical ... - Supporters - @panorama_lodge_namche @mission.uk @thecoolconversations @vidrate @Everesttoday #kentoncool #coolconversations #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #getitdone #wereinittogether #adventure #adventures #mountain #mountains #mountaineer #mountaineers #nepal #visitnepal

Vadsøværingen Kristin Harila (36) prøvde i fjor å sette rekord i å klatre alle 14 toppene på over 8000 meter. Grunnet visumtrøbbel inn til Kina ble hun stående fast etter å ha besteget 12 av 14 fjell, og måtte dermed gi slipp på rekordhåpet. Rekordholderen, Nirmal Purja, klarte denne bragden i 2019 på 6 måneder og 6 dager. Til tross for at han visstnok ikke var på alle de "ekte" toppene er det denne rekorden som gjelder å slå. I 2023 prøver hun seg på nytt – denne gangen uten supplerende oksygen.

This podcast covers what is, for me personally, one of the most meaningful sections of the Bible. The Apostle Paul shares with his dear friends at Philippi some of the key lessons he has learned in his faith walk with Jesus. There are three parts to cover in this section of Philippians 4: 4-13: How to deal with anxiety, uncertainty, and negative events. How to focus your mind in the midst of chaos and temptation. How to deal with the live that we are given, whether it is a life of prosperity or a life of poverty – and by that, I do not necessarily mean the measure of our wealth. IMAGE: Cho Oyu. Since Philippians is an easy letter to understand because it is so relatable to us today, it reminds me of the sixth highest mountain in the world, Cho Oyu. Just 12 miles west of Mt. Everest in the Himalayas, Cho Oyu is known as one of the easier mountains to climb, despite its peak of nearly 27,000 feet. If you have your Bible handy, please follow along with the text at Philippians 4: 4-13.

La montaña no para y confesamos que el invierno tiene ese puntito que nos atrae de manera especial. Quizá el hecho de vivir cerca del Pirineo, de ver tan cerca la Sierra de Guara ayude a ello. Abrimos un nuevo año en iVoox donde Planeta Montaña by Huesca La Magia ancla y queríamos hacerlo acercándonos a las actividades que están en marcha en algunos 'ochomiles'. Si acabamos 2022 con Kriss Annapurna que nos tajo las expediciones más llamativas del año, volvemos a refugiarnos en explorersweb e invitamos a Ángela Benavides a que nos contara dónde poner el foco de atención. Manaslu, Dhaula y Cho-Oyu son los tres ochomiles de las que nos cuenta cosas Ángela Benavides. Tres expediciones con el mismo objetivo de hacer cima, pero las tres de naturaleza distinta, según nos desvela. Además, nos contará alguna cosa ligada a la comunicación, de cómo llega la información que se produce en el Himalaya a las prensa más especializada. Y luego nos vamos con un navarro al que teníamos ganas de invitar. Iker Madoz estudió INEF en Huesca y es socio de Peña Guara. Un escalador singular, con las cosas muy claras. Uno de esos tipos que desprende cualquier tipo de arrogancia, que orilla cualquier orgullo y que en su currículo cuenta con cosas muy interesantes. Compañero de cordada de escaladores como Mikel Zabalza que fue también su profesor o como los hermanos Simón, Iker Madoz, el navarro de Pamplona afincado en Etxauri nos desliza, también, su forma de entender la montaña.

There are rare times when high theology and practical faith intersect perfectly in a passage of scripture. That is the case with the passage in this month's Season 2, Episode 6 podcast episode of "The Himalayas of the New Testament."   Since Philippians is an easy letter to understand because it is so relatable to us today, it reminds me of the sixth highest mountain in the world, Cho Oyu. Just 12 miles west of Mt. Everest in the Himalayas, Cho Oyu is known as one of the easier mountains to climb, despite its peak of nearly 27,000 feet.   In this episode, I look at Paul's quotation of an early church hymn that has highlighted some of the most argued principles of the early Christian faith. Surrounding that quote are two very practical pieces of advice to the church at Philippi in the midst of its squabbling.   It might be useful to follow along in your Bible as I examine Philippians 2: 1-18.

Climbing the tallest mountains in the world, overcoming a colleague's death, and fighting forward with climbing legend Tamara Lunger. Tamara Lunger Is a dreamer in love with the mountains“   Bio Tamara Lunger   “Every moment spent in the mountains makes me more aware of who I am and more thankful to life.” Since she was a child, she has practiced a lot of different sports, even athletics - she was twice vice Italian national champion -, but her true passion for the mountains remained untouched! This is why, in 2002, she started with ski mountaineering racing. She became a member of the Italian National Team and won many important races: twice Italian National Champion in 2006 and 2008, vice champion in 2007, she won the Pierra Menta in 2007 and 2008 and achieved the World Champion title on the long distance in 2008. Born in Bozen in 1986, she is the daughter of a famous Italian ski mountaineer, and has lived all her life in the mountains. This is probably why it was inevitable that the mountains went onto have such a strong influence in her life, becoming her passion. In 2014 she reached the summit of K2 becoming the second Italian woman to do so.   After the ski mountaineering experience she was looking for new, extreme challenges in the high mountains. Since she was 14 years old, she dreamt of climbing an 8000m peak and through the years she always had had a certain idea of how she would have felt being there. And then in 2009, her first big mountaineering experience in Nepal, she could say that her expectations were satisfied. Since this first experience, things are clear to Tamara: “this is the life I want, and nothing else!” Achievements Sky Mountaineering Races since 2003: 2 times Italian Champion 2008 - World Champion (under 23) 2 times winner of Pierra Menta (FRA) High Altitude Mountaineering since 2009: 2009 - Island Peak (6189 m) 2010 - youngest woman on Lhotse (23 years old) with oxygen 2010 - Cho Oyu (8210 m) no summit   2011 - 2012 - 2012 - 2013 - 2012 - 2014 - 2015 - 2016 - Khan Tengri (7010 m) Muztgah Ata (7546 m) Broad Peak (8047 m) no summit Pik Lenin (7134 m) Broad Peak (8047 m) no summit K2 (8611 m) without oxygen Manaslu Winter Expedition with Simone Moro (without success) Nanga Parbat Winter Expedition with Simone Moro (stopped 70 m below the summit). It was the first time a woman was above 8000m in first winter ascent on a 8000m peak. 2017 - 2018 - 2019/2020 - Gasherbrum Winterexpedition with Simone Moro (no success due to crevasse accident) 2020/2021- K2 Winterexpedition with Alex Gavan/ JP Mohr.

 2013 - 2020 - 2021 - 2021 - „The great crossing“ - ski mountaineering traverse in Pakistan with the summit of 2 unclimbed & nameless peaks (6345 m & 6489 m) „Tamara Tour Italia“ - A multi sport road trip (mountaineering, climbing, running, biking, paragliding, kayaking). I traveled all over Italy with the camper van, climbing the highest peak of every region. „Climbing for a reason“ - social project in northern Pakistan, Shigar Valley. We reached to climb muslim girls from 5 to 17 years. Furthermore we built an artificial climbing wall and set up a climbing spot with 19 routes on the rocks of Shigar Fort. „Tamara Tour Spain“ - A multi sport road trip (mountaineering, climbing, running, biking, paragliding, kayaking). I traveled all over Spain with the camper van, climbing the 18 highest and most important 3000m peaks of Spain. “In women sports there are still many opportunities for me because there are just a few women in the world who dare facing up the awkward demands of an expedition to the highest peaks of the world. Though, it's not about the competition or measuring with other athletes, it is all about proving myself – to myself! What will I be able to achieve? How difficult can things become? Which levels of mental and physical demands will I be able to cope with?”

Unas horas antes de que Kilian Jornet rompiera el crono en la UTMB, en Planeta Montaña by Huesca La Magia, también nos fuimos a Chamonix. En este caso para hablar con un amigo y guía, David Pujol, que ha hecho de esta localidad ubicada en la Alta Saboya su Campo Base. Nacido en la localidad barcelonesa de San Fruitos de Bagés, David Pujol pronto sintió la llamada de la montaña. Es montañero, alpinista, escalador y una de los pioneros españoles en el snow más extremo. De verbo fluido, dice las cosas de forma claras y meridianas. Es guía de montaña, ha acompañado a otros montañeros a la cima de un par de ochomiles -Manaslu y Cho Oyu- por lo que no duda en entrecomillar que "formo parte de este circo" de las expediciones comerciales, aunque lo matiza de forma meridiana. Desliza qué es lo que va a acabar con el alpinismo y también le 'obligamos' a echar la vista atrás para que nos recuerde qué sintió cuando en Nueva Zelanda ganó a un tal Jeremy Jones, protagonista de un episodio de la serie de HBO Edge of the Earth. Y antes de la charla con David Pujol estrenamos una sección en Planeta Montaña by Huesca La Magia en la que queremos que el protagonista sea quienes nos escucháis. Nos encantaría que enviarais un guasap de voz con vuestras inquietudes a un montañero o montañera en concreto que nosotros intentaremos que os den cumplida respuesta a quien le preguntéis. El guasap de voz hay que mandarlo al 657 555 740. Se trata de una sección en la que colabora Evil eye por lo que entre las preguntas que mandéis habrá un sorteo con alguna sorpresa gentileza de la marca.

A new trend in 8000-meter climbing is how many you can get in one trip and how fast. Norweigan Kristin Harila is on track to smash long-time records this year. Thus far, she has eleven of the fourteen, all with climbing Sherpas, Pasdawa Sherpa, and Dawa Ongju Sherpa, of 8K Expeditions. I had the opportunity to record this interview with her during a short respite back home in Norway. The current record is 189 days between April 23 and October 29, 2019, by Nirmal Purja Pun Magar and is recognized by Guinness World Records. However, a study posted online notes it took Nirmal five years, four months, and 25 days to complete all 14, primarily due to their conclusion that he didn't reach Manaslu's true summit during his 2019 campaign and only did in the autumn of 2021. Kristin's first summit of the project was Annapurna on April 28, 2022. She will need to finish by November 3, 2022, to get the speed record. She is no stranger to mountaineering. In 2019, she became the fastest woman to climb Everest and Lhotse in a record 12 hours. The 36-year-old is from Vadso/Norway and is a former cross-country skier. Today, she claims her profession is as a mountaineer, runner, and skier. Next up for the trio are Nepal's Manaslu true summit, before trying Cho Oyu and Shishapangma. She prefers climbing both from the Tibet side, but as we know, the Chinese have closed Tibet for climbing due to COVID since 2000. They will have to get an exception to enter the country for their attempt. She tells me she will attempt Cho from Nepal if she cannot enter Tibet. Pemba Sherpa, the founder of 8K Expeditions, tells me: I have never seen such a strong woman in mountaineering. If China gives the chance to climb Shixapangma and Cho-oyu, she will definitely complete the project in expected time along with Pasdawa and Dawa Ongju. This is a fun, fast-paced interview where we cover many topics, including: Kristin and her Sherpa team Her background growing up in Norway and as a professional skier Women climbing 8000-meter peaks Children The trash and experience epidemic on the 8000ers this year A brief rundown of her climbs thus far A look at what's ahead for the three Best of luck to Kristin, Pasdawa, and 'Uncle Dawa.' She leaves next week for the final phase of the "Bremont 14 Peaks" project. You can follow Kristin on Instagram, Facebook, or her website and 8K Expeditions. Climb On! Alan Memories are Everything

Eu montanhista Freddy Duclerc e apresento o episódio nº119 da terceira temporada com tema: JAPÃO – Pais de Trekkings e Montanhas com o Montanhista e Fotografo Marcel Kato. Vamos viajar no tempo com Marcel Kato, ele nasceu na cidade de Jundiaí, interior de São Paulo. Pai do Luan, sempre foi apaixonado por natureza, desde pequeno quando acompanhava seus pais em viagens para Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais e muitas cidades no estado de São Paulo. Atualmente mora Japão, a 16 anos, na cidade de Hamamatsu e usando suas palavras, ele diz: O Japão é a terra no qual eu me apaixonei, principalmente pela cultura, onde o respeito pelo próximo é uma das grandes virtudes do povo japonês. Recentemente fui premiado com a primeira colocação no concurso de fotografia do consulado geral, o tema era “Um olhar sobre a comunidade brasileira no Japão!” Uma grande honra. Já estive por 12 vezes no ponto mais alto do Japão, o Monte Fuji. A primeira vez foi em 2009, de lá para cá, foram várias histórias e Sempre muito bem acompanhado e outras vezes sozinho, colocando em prática a solitude! Hoje não me imagino viver sem o Montanhismo, amo este esporte, que virou filosofia de vida. Mas vamos falar um pouquinho do montanhismo no Japão! O símbolo do Japão é o Monte Fuji (3.776m), próximo de Tóquio. Um país que tem uma das montanhas mais belas do mundo como símbolo nacional não poderia ficar alheio ao montanhismo e a presença Japonesa no Himalaia sempre foi muito destacada e marcante com muitas rotas abertas e conquistas. Com uma grande quantidade de praticantes, o Japão possui vários clubes de montanhismo (Hokei, Sendai, Hosei, Showa, Nerima, Sapporo, Tóquio). É bastante comum a cooperação entre dois ou mais clubes alpinos para organizar grandes expedições. O mais famoso e proeminente de todos é o Clube Alpino Japonês (JAC), que tem 117 anos sendo referência mundial. As mulheres japonesas sempre estiveram à frente do seu tempo e no montanhismo mostraram suas conquistas, mas destaco Junko Tabei, a primeira mulher a chegar no cume Everest. Junko também fez a primeira ascensão feminina ao Shishapangma (em 1981), e subiu o Cho Oyu em 1996, aos 57 anos. Sua frase mais famosa: “Eu sou um espírito livre das montanhas”.

At 19, Gabby Kanizay, became the youngest Australian to summit Mt Everest. Twenty-four hours later she become the youngest woman in the world to complete the Everest-Lhotse (8514m) double; the world's fourth-highest mountain, and her climbing partner? Her mum, Jane. As if that wasn't enough, Gabby also holds the record as the youngest woman in the world, at 16 years old, to climb the sixth highest peak, Cho Oyu, Tibet. Her passion for mountaineering began as a 15-year-old with her first trip to Nepal; a trek to Everest Base Camp with her Mum, Jane. Gabby has also enjoyed running and triathlons at home. She recently finished Year 12 VCE and is now travelling in Europe for a Gap Year. Her next plans are to climb the remaining eleven peaks (above 8000m), as she now has three under her belt.From a young age, Jane, 52, has always been into extreme sports skydiving, motorbike riding, trapeze, ultra-running and scuba diving, she now has a newfound love of mountaineering. She's extremely dedicated to her training regime for these climbs, while also being a mum of 4, to Sam, Gabby, Joe and Anna, and working as an educator and artist. She completed two 8000m summits alongside Gabby, Everest and Cho Oyu and enjoyed a well-earned sleep-in whilst Gabby headed up Lhotse! Jane is now rediscovering life as a single mum and climbed with the message of @teachusconsent; the holistic consent education campaign begun by Chanel Contos in 2020.Despite having altitude sickness, Jane still has the climbing bug, and might just join Gabby for another peak, as long as it's under 8000m.

Wanda Rutkiewicz zapisała się w historii himalaizmu jako jedna z prekursorek kobiecego wspinania w górach najwyższych, stała się inspiracją i idolką dla wielu osób na całym świecie. W 1991 roku Polka weszła na swój siódmy ośmiotysięcznik - Cho Oyu. Po tym sukcesie natychmiast ruszyła pod kolejny ośmiotysięczny szczyt - Annapurnę, gdzie działała już polska ekspedycja pod kierownictwem Krzysztofa Wielickiego. To właśnie podczas tej wyprawy doszło do wielkich kontrowersji - kobieta została posądzona o to, że nie weszła na szczyt Annapurny, pomimo iż była mocno przekonana o swoim osiągnięciu. Dlaczego przedstawiono tak poważne zarzuty uznanej himalaistce? Jak przebiegała polska ekspedycja na Annapurnę? Warto poznać sekrety tej trudnej wyprawy - oto kolejny odcinek serii. Podcast poświęcony tematyce górskiej. Maciej Piera, znany miłośnik gór, który publikuje jako Szczytomaniak, zaprasza do wysłuchania historii najtragiczniejszych polskich wypraw w najwyższe góry świata. Szczytomaniak próbuje odkryć przyczyny dramatycznych pojedynków z górami, których od lat, niestrudzenie podejmują się polscy himalaiści, niejednokrotnie przypłacając te próby własnym życiem.

Patagonia e Himalaya. Sin duda son dos de los rincones más bellos del planeta montaña. Escaladas de compromiso en el hemisferio sur, muchas veces fuera del foco mediático, pero donde se vive la aventura en una dimensión plena. En este episodio de Planeta Montaña by Huesca La Magia hemos invitado a @KrissAnnapurna para que nos acerque algunas de las escaladas de compromiso en Patagonia. Además siempre comentamos que la montaña es un medio tan bello como hostil y si bien nunca ponemos el foco en los accidentes, en esta ocasión sí que nos hacemos eco de dos de ellos en este territorio. En concreto, en Cerro Torre. Luego viajamos al Himalaya. El Manaslu, Nanga Parbat, Cho-Oyu donde despunta la posibilidad de una incipiente polémica con dos Campo Base en la misma zona, pero separados; el Everest de Jost Kobusch y nos hablará sobre Urubko, sus planes. El podcast lo vamos a abrochar con Eduardo Viñuales. Teníamos desde hace un tiempo un debe con él para que nos acercara la figura de Alberto Martínez Embid. Escritor, fotógrafo, articulista, montañero, escalador y enamorado del Pirineo como un todo, Alberto Martínez Embid falleció el pasado año y nos sentíamos en deuda con él para intentar acercarnos a su figura.

Adrian Ballinger is a world class mountaineer, skier, business leader, and professional speaker. As founder and head guide of the internationally acclaimed Alpenglow Expeditions, Adrian envisioned a more holistic climbing experience for his clients than the status quo. This vision, with a focus on small groups and client education, continues to change the way big mountains are climbed. What started in 2004 with three trips on one continent with one lead guide has grown into a thriving company running 30 trips annually on 5 continents with six lead guides. In 10 years, Alpenglow has helped more than 100 clients successfully summit Everest, Lhotse (the 4th tallest mountain in the world), Manaslu (8th tallest), and Cho Oyu (6th tallest). How was Alpenglow able to expand to 10 times its size in 10 years all while setting new industry standards and expectations? Adrian believes running a business is a lot like climbing a mountain and attributes his extensive mountaineering experiences to his company's success. In his forthcoming book, “Why Everest Matters – Lessons Learned from the Roof of the World,” Adrian explains essential business concepts such as leadership, teamwork, and risk management from a climber's perspective. Adrian's inspiring stories from the amazing places he's traveled embolden audiences to integrate these important concepts into their own lives and businesses. As a professional athlete first and foremost, Adrian is the only American who has skied two 8,000 meter peaks, was the first person to ski Manaslu, the 8th tallest mountain in the world, and in 2011 became the first person to summit three 8,000 meter peaks in only 3 weeks (Everest twice and Lhotse once). He is the only American guide to have both AMGA/IFMGA guide's certifications and has achieved more than 10 summits of 8,000 meter peaks (including 6 summits of Mt. Everest). Adrian is a sponsored athlete for Eddie Bauer, La Sportiva, Kaenon, Goal Zero, Hypoxico and Alpenglow Sports and welcomes new sponsors who are committed to aligning with high altitude achievement.

Kenton Cool is one of the premier climbers from the United Kingdom. Among his many accomplishments, he skied the 8000er Cho Oyu, made the first, and thus far only, climb of Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse in seven days in 2013. And he has summited Everest 14 times. He's currently on Everest with a client attempting his 15th which would tie American Dave Hahn for the most non-Sherpa summits of Everest. I caught up with Kenton while he was in Namache Bazzar recovering from his acclimatization rotations in prep for the summit bid. We discussed the allure of Everest, a bit of history, his own long-time interaction with the mountain, and the conditions this year. It's a fun, fascinating interview I hope you enjoy.

Born and raised on a farm in the UK Squash Falconer is a record-breaking adventurer, speaker and presenter. Combining her love of different sports Squash was the first British woman to climb and paraglide from the summit of Mont Blanc having ridden there from the UK on her motorbike. Squash has climbed many mountains around the world, she has summited Mount Everest and holds claim to be the worlds highest ever bum boarder -a title she gained on Cho Oyu, the 6th highest mountain in the world. In 2013 Squash completed a 3000mile journey on an ElliptiGO setting a new distance record for travel by Elliptical bicycle. Squash has self-shot many of her trips and received accolade for the short films she's produced. In 2014 a project saw her ride thousands of miles through South America on her BMW GS 800 presenting an adventure travel documentary. Passionate about sharing her adventures, Squash has a unique and quirky outlook on life and firmly believes that with the right attitude every one of us can achieve our goals and dreams, or at least, something extraordinary. The discussion is about mountains and how she found herself in that milieu, but it's also about what the combination of her sports gives her. As with many of my “mountain guests” it's often not what you think. It's not about being an adrenaline seeking junkie, scaring yourself for kicks with near death experiences. It's about the freedom you feel, about the empowerment that comes with finding how what it feels like to push your limits and find new depths to yourself. We talk about the different approaches women and men take to adventure sometimes, about being comfortable in your own skin and how it is important not to just “do, do, do” all the time. We also discuss her becoming a mum, and how the challenge of being a single mum in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for 6 weeks was the hardest challenge she has ever faced but how she organised herself like she was on expedition on Everest to keep herself well and healthy so she could look after her tiny little girl better. Believe in your crazy dreams, don't let anyone stop you from trying and brand fatigue after telling her story so many times are some other themes we touch on! www.squashfalconer.com Facebook : squashfalconer Twitter : @squashfalconer Instagram : squashfalconer

Episode #6 manages to make mention of both Nanga Parbat (8,126m, home to the towering four-and-a-half-kilometre tall Rupal Face), and the exquisite Roseberry Topping (320m, 16th highest point in the North York Moors). That's because the man doing most of the talking is Alan Hinkes: acclaimed climber, photographer, author, motivational speaker, environmentalist, mountain guide, Yorkshireman, and summiteer of all 14 of the world's 8,000m mountains. This last feat being one of tremendous objective danger, Alan is one of fewer than 50 climbers who have stood atop Shishapangma, Gasherbrum II, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I, Annapurna, Nanga Parbat, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Lhotse, Kangchenjunga, K2, and (of course) Everest, without being claimed by avalanche, rockfall, edema or human error. What drives a person to attempt such a thing? Is 10 per cent risk of death ever acceptable? Does it rain more in Cumbria or Yorkshire? Let's find out together. 00:00 - Introduction 02:34 - Welcome (Yorkshireman of the Year) 04:04 - “More and more I think kindness is the way forward” 05:05 - Life across the mountainous swathe of northern England 06:20 - Introduction to the 8,000ers (“Buy my book! It's brilliaaaaaaaant!”) 13:35 - Kukuczka, Messner and more 19:45 - A big digression leading to Cust's Gully and some pretty sobering avalanche chat. 24:35 - “No mountain is worth a life, coming back is a success, and the summit is a bonus.” 26:09 - Growing up near North Allerton 31:02 - Lockdown in the Lakes, a tough time for instructors 37:30 - The considerable risks of extreme altitude mountains 42:50 - “K2 had had roughly 300 ascents and around 80 or 90 deaths” 49:16 - “I feel like I've done what I want to do in life, and everything else is a bonus” 50:18 - Why all climbing on 8000ers is “exploratory climbing” 53:30 - Greatest Mountain Memory: a reverie atop K2 56:25 - Time, money, freedom… where do you go? “I'd still be happy in this band across northern England… but maybe the Seven Summits?”

It's rare to catch Maya Sherpa for an interview but I did as she was leaving for a double 8000-meter climb of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. She holds the record for most 8000ers for a Nepali female at 6 with Everest, Lhotse, Manaslu, Kanchcunga, Cho Oyu, and K2. We talked out how a girl from rural Nepal broke into the male-dominated world of mountaineering, not only as a climber but also as a guide. She talked about her now 11-year-old daughter and how she wants to use their climbing to inspire others, especially this next generation of young ladies. An informative and inspirational interview with something for everyone. Enjoy! You can follow her climb on Facebook. I will be covering Maya and all the action on the 8000ers and Everest this spring on my Blog.

Alpinist Adrian Ballinger has made a career of climbing the Himalaya’s 8,000-meter giants. Since 2008, he’s summited Mount Everest eight times, including once without supplemental oxygen. He has also climbed other lofty and daring peaks in the region like K2, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Manaslu. In this fun and lighthearted chat, Ballinger speaks openly with Shanty and Mary about overcoming family and societal pressure in order to live a life that's true to yourself, and he also talks about the challenges/realities of guiding clients up the world’s highest mountains. But it's not all just earthquakes, avalanches, mountain politics, and global warming. Ballinger also takes us to a fateful encounter on the side of Mount Everest, where he met the love of his life, professional climber Emily Harrington. The couple got engaged last year, and are looking at a December 2021 wedding. Ballinger gives us a peak of what “normal” life is like for these two climbing celebrities.

Il a grimpé avec les plus grands, Lorétan, Troillet, ou Steck mais son nom est moins connu du grand public. Le guide valaisan Frédéric Roux est pourtant un alpiniste et himalayiste virtuose. On peut citer lʹascension de cinq 8000 sans oxygène (Shishapangma, Cho Oyu, Makalu et Gasherbrum I et II). Et trois tentatives sur le K2, la dernière en 2019 avec Mike Horn. Toujours avec la manière, cʹest-à-dire sans porteur, sans corde fixe et bien évidemment sans oxygène supplémentaire. Il est lʹinvité dʹAltitudes ce dimanche pour nous parler de sa passion des très hautes altitudes. Alors que le climat se tend entre la Suisse et ses voisins européens en matière dʹouverture des stations de ski, nous irons voir sur le terrain à quoi va ressembler lʹouverture de cette saison si particulière, comment du point de vue des professionnels du secteur on envisage ces prochaines semaines et les fêtes de fin dʹannée. Anouck Merz sʹest rendue dans le secteur de Glacier 3000, au-dessus des Diablerets, dans le canton de Vaud, pour voir ce qui était mis en place.

Une femme discrète et passionnée se raconte dans Altitudes. Et très très forte aussi! Guide de montagne à Arolla, depuis une petite trentaine dʹannées, elle aime parfois quitter son Val dʹHérens de cœur pour aller embrasser les cimes himalayennes. Josette Valloton a déjà gravi sept sommets de plus de 8000 mètres: le Dhaulaghiri à 8167 mètres, le Makalu à 8485 mètres, le Manaslu à 8163 mètres, le Lhotse à 8516 mètres, le Cho Oyu à 8201 mètres, et les deux sommets du Shishapangma à 8046 mètres et 8013 mètres. Et elle compte bien ne pas sʹarrêter là…

Caroline Gleich has consistently pushed the envelope in the high alpine environment of the Himalaya. She has also pushed it at home in Utah's Wasatch Mountains. In 2017 she became the first woman to descend all 90 lines of "The Chuting Gallery," Andrew McLean's guide to steep, extreme skiing in the Wasatch. She has also skied Cho Oyu, the 6th tallest peak in the world, summited Mt. Everest and skied the three tallest peaks in Ecuador, in one weekend. Despite her accomplishments, Caroline has consistently had to battle misogyny, sexism and doubters at an unprecedented level for a professional athlete. We talk about these topics at length in our conversation, as well as the larger gender-bias implications in the outdoor space. Caroline tells us about the vitriol of the cyber-bullying she has experienced throughout her career, and more importantly, how she has chosen to combat and beat it. We also talk about the importance of her family, how losing several close friends in the mountains drives her to this day, anxiety and depression and her outspoken defense of environmental and social causes. We think you will enjoy this intimate and insightful chat with one of the most accomplished ski mountaineers and fantastic persons of our day.

We’re doing something a bit different on this week’s podcast. You know I like to shake things up, just to make sure you’re paying attention.  So, in addition to finding out more about my guest and getting a bit of an insight into his speeches we dissect his speaking business.  We find out how he got started as a speaker, how he started charging, where his paid gigs come from plus lots more.  We go deep stopping just short of asking him for his bank balance.   So, let’s roll the podcast ….  My guest this week is a young adventurer, author and fundraiser from Chester. At just 24 he’s already delivered over 170 talks to businesses, schools and events around the UK and Europe, and he’s also done a TEDx.  He’s made two attempts to climb Mount Everest, both ended in disaster.  He shares his unique experiences of redefining failure, embracing change and staying resilient through adversity.  He has just released his second book Another Peak and has set up a social enterprise supporting mental health through outdoors called Mind over Mountains:  www.mindovermountains.org.uk. All this and he is still only 24 years old.  Please welcome Alex Staniforth. Bio Alex Staniforth is a record-breaking adventurer, keynote speaker, published author, brand ambassador and charity fundraiser from Cheshire. At the age of 24 he has already attempted Mount Everest twice and is dedicated to inspiring others to achieve their own ‘Everest’ in life. Alex is not your typical Everest speaker. After single-handedly raising over £35,000 in corporate sponsorship whilst still at school, his first attempt to climb to the summit of Mount Everest in 2014 was abandoned following a tragic avalanche that took sixteen lives. Aged just 19, he returned to Everest a year later and survived an avalanche in the Khumbu Icefall, triggered by the Nepal earthquake, which trapped his team on the mountain for two days. He is no stranger to adversity: overcoming epilepsy, bullying – and a stammer in early life. These experiences have re-defined his view of success and failure to develop a humbling realisation that success lies not just in reaching the top but our journey to get there. Alex understands first-hand how our circle of control is sometimes no bigger than two metres below our feet and that so-called ‘failure’ is just another opportunity to win. In 2016 he returned to the Himalayas and reached 7,125 metres on Cho Oyu, the sixth highest peak in the world. In 2017 he became the fastest person ever to climb all 100 UK county tops by bicycle, foot and kayak, covering over 5,000 miles in 72 days to encourage conversations around mental well-being. In 2018 he ran two sub three-hour marathons and has completed numerous other endurance challenges, developing resilience and mental strategies, presented in a way that we can apply to our own daily stresses. Outdoor adventure and endurance challenges have not only been a tool to overcome adversity but a vehicle for doing good and leading others. Alex has raised over £85,000 for charity, carried the London 2012 Olympic Torch through Chester, won a Pride of Britain Regional Fundraiser of the Year award and is an ambassador for the YHA (Youth Hostel Association) England & Wales. With an unassuming and approachable style, Alex has already presented to over 16,000 people internationally and is one of the youngest ever Gold Award Presenters for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at Buckingham Palace. He published his first book Icefall in 2016, endorsed by Bear Grylls, and his second title Another Peak was published in July 2019, endorsed by Mark Beaumont. Alex speaks openly about his struggles with depression, anxiety and eating disorders, to spread the message that mental illness is not a weakness or barrier to achievement. He is also a founding director of Mind Over Mountains C.I.C, a social enterprise providing outdoor experiences to improve and maintain positive mental wellbeing.  Recorded: 9th October 2019 Links: More about Alex Staniforth Mind over Mountains More about Maria Franzoni Ltd Connect with Maria on Linkedin Connect with Maria on FaceBook To book any of the speakers featured on the Speaking Business podcast, click here Listen here: Libsyn  Itunes  Soundcloud Stitcher Spotify   More about Alex Staniforth -  https://mfl.global/speaker/alex-staniforth Mind over Mountains - www.mindovermountains.org.uk More about Maria Franzoni Ltd - https://mfl.global Connect with Maria on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-franzoni/ Connect with Maria on FaceBook - https://www.facebook.com/speakingbusiness.co To book any of the speakers featured on the Speaking Business podcast, click here https://mfl.global/contact-us/

Today's episode is a special one because it consists entirely of a chat Jason had with the mountaineer, Nirmal “Nims” Purja. Nims is a former Gurkha Regiment soldier and Special Forces operator in the British military who has set out this year to climb the 14 highest mountains in the world in just seven months. To put that in perspective, the current record for such a feat is over eight years. He calls this ambitious goal, “Bremont Project Possible”, which obviously takes the first part of its name from his primary sponsor, Bremont Watch Company. In fact, when I spoke to Nims a couple of weeks ago, he was in London for a short break after completing 11 of the 14 climbs, and he recorded his side of our call from Bremont's London boutique (our apologies for the background noise). Even if you haven't heard of Nims, you've probably seen a photo he took. After a particularly tragic climbing season on Everest, the news media turned its attention to the issue of overcrowding of guided climbing clients, and a photo Nims took of the queue of climbers on the South Ridge became famous, appearing everywhere from the New York Times to CNN. Nims and his small team were the first to put up ropes to the summit of K2 this year, and along the way to several other peaks, he's led rescue efforts to aid stricken climbers, even as he's been chasing his own record. Nims is heading back to the Himalayas shortly after this episode airs, with three mountains left to climb: Cho Oyu, Shishipangma, and Manaslu. You can follow his progress by checking out his Instagram feed at @nimsdai.

Go back in time with me for a minute, back to when I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (and wrote about it, here). After the trip, I found it incredibly hard to distill the experience into a two-sentence answer I could call upon when people asked me how the trip went. It was awesome, it was emotional, it was awful at times and joyful at others, and the aspect of doing this insane achievement with my close family put a whole different layer on things. Fast forward to my podcast interview with Hilaree Nelson, an explorer and ski mountaineer, and I finally felt like I'd found someone who could truly relate to my unique experience. That's because Hilaree also climbed Kilimanjaro with her family, who ranged in age from four years old to 74 years old. The highs were high and the lows were low, and by the time we wrapped up that portion of the interview, I had almost forgotten that I wasn't talking to a close friend—I was talking to someone who's climbed two 8,000 meter peaks (Everest and Lhotse) in 24 hours; who's skied DOWN from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu in Tibet; and who's summited a terrifyingly named mountain called the Peak of Evil. Safe to say that our similarities begin and end at Mount Kilimanjaro. But Nelson and I still connected over a lot over the rest of our conversation. In keeping with our theme of community, I heard first-hand stories of times when a community that you trust and communicate well with meant the difference between life and death—death, in this case, coming in the form of an endless, can't-see-the-bottom crevasse that one fellow climber narrowly avoided (you'll hear me audibly gasp at least two times during this part of the interview). What I found really interesting was the way Nelson spoke about the "yin and yang" of working with your climbing partner. When one partner is down, she's found, the other partner is able to bring the positive energy and keep the party moving along, and that positivity is something she strives to embody in her expeditions and her new role as team captain of The North Face Global Athlete Team. She also spoke at length about the communities that allow her to be a professional adventurer: both the fellow athletes that inspire her to reach new heights (literally), and her close-knit community that helps care for her children and provide that hands-on support so she can travel the world. If you're in Chicago and you found yourself on the edge of your seat during this interview like I did, you can see Nelson speak live on May 7 at Roosevelt University as part of her role with National Geographic. Her talk, the "Point Of No Return," details a harrowing expedition to a remote peak in Myanmar, during which the biggest challenge she faced was more than the restricted rations, the challenging conditions, and risk of hypothermia—it was managing the clashing personalities that could put everyone in grave danger. You can bet I'll be there, and I already know my heart rate will be elevated just listening to her speak. Like this interview? Show us by rating or reviewing us!

In April 2019, Caroline Gleich and Rob Lea will climb Mt. Everest as a “Climb For Equality,” to highlight the role that men and people of all genders can play in supporting women’s leadership, in the mountains and beyond. Despite gains for women in other areas of society, only 10% of climbers on 8000m are women. As of June 2017, only 536 women have climbed Mt. Everest. It’s not enough to have women showing up. We need more women at the top. The Climb for Equality is a social awareness campaign where Rob and Caroline will aim to get 100 mountaineers of all genders to do a social media post about how they will support women’s leadership and combat bias. The campaign will provide a tool kit of ways to interrupt bias. 10% of funds raised will go towards organizations that support women’s leadership. Caroline Gleich It’s been Caroline’s lifelong dream to take skis to the Himalayas. She never thought she would be drawn to Everest until she was on the drive to Cho Oyu in September 2018 and saw Everest for the first time. Her first thought was, “I want to ski that.” Caroline plans to ski from 7500m down the North Ridge and North Col. It will be a highlight in her skiing career after skiing in big mountain ranges around the world including the Cordillera Blanca, French and Swiss Alps, Canadian Rockies and others. As a professional ski mountaineer and environmental activist, Caroline has seen gender inequality among the world’s tallest peaks and in the halls of Congress. With strong support from her partner, Rob, they realized that advocating for gender equality isn’t only a woman’s job, and through this project, aim to bring strong male allies and people of all genders into the conversation. Rob Lea As a World Champion Half Ironman, Rob is no stranger to physically exhausting, challenging, and long days. The list of triathlons Rob has completed is exhaustive and his love of the sport has given him a new objective: the Ultimate World Triathlon. As part of the Ultimate World Tri, Rob will climb Mt. Everest, swim the English Channel, and cycle across America. More than the physical challenge, Rob will also raise awareness for gender inequality in the mountains and the boardroom, based on the He for She initiative by the United Nations. Rob’s mountaineering career includes climbs of mountains around the world including Aconcagua, Denali, and most recently, Cho Oyo. He is also planning on doing what is called the Ultimate world triathlon, which includes Climbing Everest, Swimming the English Channel, and ride his bike across America, all within 6 months.

BGBS Episode 014: Sometimes Your Path Chooses YouOver the course of a decade, Luis Benitez has quietly emerged amongst a growing field of climbers as one of the more experienced, respected and busiest professional guides and leadership development consultants in the world. Throughout his career, Luis has summited the top of the famed “Seven Summits” a cumulative 32 times, including being a six-time summiteer of Mt. Everest. Between managing expeditions on some of the most remote peaks in the world, while consulting with a deep and varied group of clientele, Benitez works to tie the lessons available from the outdoors and carry them back to the everyday challenges of life and business during his keynote presentations and seminars. In this episode we talked about: What Luis' current title Director of the Outdoor Recreation Industry Office for the State of Colorado means and the kind of difficulties he faces. Some of the early ambitions Luis had growing up. What life was like for Luis growing up in Ecuador and the history of his family and where he got his outdoor and mountaineering experience from. How Luis became instantly inspired to be a mountaineer from reading about Jim Whittaker, who “had what I have (Asthma).” What steps Luis took to become a mountain guide as he inspired to be. What it's like to be a mountain guide and what type of hierarchies are involved. Luis expedition to Cho Oyu in Tibet and the horrifying experience that occurred going through the pass from Nepal to Dharamsala India. The involvement Luis got into with the incident he had seen going on his expedition. Luis experience meeting the Dalai Lama, what conversations they had, and how his message to a certain group of refuges changed the perception of Luis' life and how he had applied it to his community. What lead Luis getting into politics and being elected to serve as Town Council in Eagle, Colorado. The call with John Hickenlooper and him hiring Luis to be the first director of the Outdoor Recreation Industry Office. Luis' take on the leadership of the country today, especially on how it influences the outdoor economy. Quotes: [13:58] “I remember dragging that magazine into my parents' bedroom, pointing at Jim Whittaker saying, “This guy has what I have. This is exactly what I want to do. I want to be a mountain guide, I want to climb mount Everest.” [26:12] “That expedition [Cho Oyu] really changed the trajectory of my life personally and professionally.” [27:27] “These soldiers can't follow us up the hill, so let's leave for our summit push. Let's get a move on. By the time we come down, the world is going to know…and I just never had such heavy feet moving up the hill.” [38:56] “The director for ICT (International Communicator for Tibet) laughing, saying, “ok Luis pop quiz, when the Dali lama special envoy calls you and says that his holiness wants to meet you, what do you say?” [40:55] “He [Dalai lama] said, “You know, sometimes you don't get to choose your path, sometimes your path chooses you. And now it's going to be up to you to decide how you want to show up.” [51:52] “He's [John Hickenlooper] one of the few people that if he said, “Jump off that ledge [or] walk through that window.”, I wouldn't even think twice to follow him.” [55:11] [Politics] “Now what I think what we're going to see is a shift and understanding how cohesive social justice can and should be in relation to our natural resources and relation to our economy and industry and what we do and how we do it.” [59:19] “Did you have fun? Was it hard? Was it Worth it?” Links Mentioned On Our Show: Luis Benitez John Hickenlooper Dalai Lama Jim Whittaker Outdoor Recreation Industry Office Mount Rainier Mount Everest Seven Summits About Luis moving on to his new role at VF Corp: https://www.outsideonline.com/2391627/luis-benitez-outdoor-industry-colorado https://www.denverpost.com/2019/03/06/luis-benitez-colorado-outdoors-vf-corp/ ‍

In honour of International Women's day, I have invited a inspirational woman to join the Stepper team. Allie Pepper is an Australian Mountaineer who has climbed three mountains over 8000m including the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. This episode Allie talks about how she started mountaineering and what lead to her climbing the highest mountains in the world. She speaks in detail about her ascent to Cho Oyu in Tibet. She climbed to the summit without the use of supplementary oxygen, and only a very small amount of women have achieved this. She gives great advice on Everest BASE camp as it attracts around 35,000 trekkers every year. She talks about the struggles of trying to make her dreams come true.  This is only Part 1, make sure you SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss Part 2. http://www.alliepepper.com/ Email  -   withyoueverysteppodcast@gmail.com Instagram - @withyoueverystep Facebook -  @withyoueverystep Twitter  -    @withyoueverystp    

Nous voilà de retour au Népal, cette fois dans sa région star du Solukhumbu, le toit du monde et la terre des Sherpas. Le voyage commence dans le Solu, où l’on arrive par Phaplu. Cette partie, moins connue que le Khumbu voisin, a pourtant tant à offrir au voyageur. C'est l'endroit idéal pour du trek en moyenne montagne dans une nature verdoyante sur fond de pics himalayens majestueux. C'est aussi la découverte du grand monastère de Chiwong où est célébré le festival Mani Rimdu chaque année. C'est encore la rencontre avec les "chasseurs de miel" perchés sur de hautes falaises, une activité aussi impressionnante que périlleuse. L'aventure continue ensuite dans le Khumbu, que l'on rejoint en trek ou par un atterrissage mémorable à Lukla. De là débute l'un des treks les plus fameux au monde, sur le chemin du camp de base de l'Everest. A partir de là, deux priorités pour le voyageur / aventurier : gérer les effets de l'altitude et s'imprégner au maximum de la beauté et de la grandeur des sommets himalayens : Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Gokyo Ri... Et inévitablement, le chemin mène jusqu'à Gorakshep et le Kala Patthar pour un point de vue imprenable sur l'Everest et ses 8848 mètres. C'est de tout cela et bien plus encore dont nous parlons dans cet épisode avec Thierry Robinet, véritable amoureux du Népal, l'un de ses quatre pays fétiches en Asie. J'en profite aussi pour partager ma récente expédition jusqu'à l'Island Peak, toujours dans ce merveilleux Parc national de Sagarmatha. Toute une aventure !

Caroline Gleich is a ski mountaineer who knows the meaning of scary but rewarding: whether she's climbing 8,000 meter mountains in the Himalayas or anticipating her future as an adventure-seeking wife and mom. Years of hard work have brought her here and while she's a self described late bloomer, Caroline's learned to trust the timing in her life. Looking back on 2018, Caroline shared on her Instagram that she summited 72 peaks and climbed 489,704 human powered vertical feet of uphill. Included in these peaks and vertical feet was the 6th highest mountain in the world, Cho Oyu. We talked with Caroline about that climb and the family she sees in her future. Even though she’s ski mountaineered some of the tallest mountains in the world, her thoughts on fear, self-trust, and creating the life she wants for herself hit close to home. Plus, we catch up with Karen Wang two years after we interviewed her for Episode 9, After the Pacific Crest Trail.

How do you get to the point in your life where you even consider climbing up and then standing on skis looking down a 7,000-foot 50-degree couloir that drops off the 27,940-foot summit of the fourth highest mountain in the world, Lhoste? We chat about that first descent, the lifelong pursuit of passion and both physical and mental persistence that it took to get there, and much more including balancing motherhood and family life with high-risk outdoor pursuits, and designing a career as an adventure athlete, with The North Face athlete team captain, Hilaree Nelson. She is the first woman to climb two 8,000m peaks in 24 hours (Everest and Lhotse). She's also the first person to ski off the summit of Lhotse. Additionally, she’s skied from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu climbed and skied several high peaks in Bolivia and Argentina. Elsewhere, Hilaree has cut turns on remote volcanoes in the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Lebanon, as well as many first descents in the tight couloirs of Baffin Island. Enjoy this incredible interview with adventurer, big mountain skier, speaker, and mother, Hilaree Nelson. For the show notes, visit: https://exploreinspired.com/hilaree-nelson

Caroline Gleich is a professional ski mountaineer, endurance athlete, and environmental activist. This past fall, she climbed and skied Cho Oyu, the sixth highest mountain in the world. On today’s episode, we’ll talk about that adventure, where she faced a spell of high altitude pulmonary edema (hape) that threatened her chances at summitting. Later in our conversation, we’ll talk about the implicit and sometimes explicit bias that women face in adventure sports that are predominantly male.   In today’s Company Spotlight, we feature Onsight Equipment, an eco-friendly travel gear company based out of British Colombia. Onsight uses recycled materials to build travel storage solutions, including bicycle frame bags, messenger bags, and travel organizers. After my interview with their marketing and business development manager, Jens Ourom, I'll review some of the products with Roommate Max and Hannah Van Wetter.

7x summiter, 1x without supplemental oxygen, on the sacrifices made to fulfill a lifelong dream. Adrian Ballinger has summited Mt. Everest seven times. He attempted Everest without supplemental oxygen in 2016 as part of the Everest No Filter expedition with national geographic photographer Cory Richards. Cory made the summit. Adrian didn’t. They went back in 2017, and Adrian achieved his goal of summiting without oxygen. It wasn’t easy. In 2011 Adrian and two Sherpa partners became the first people to summit three 8,000 meter peaks in only 3 weeks (Everest twice and Lhotse once). He’s the first person to ski Manaslu, the 8th tallest mountain in the world, from its summit, and the first American to successfully ski two 8,000-meter peaks. You can follow Adrian on Instagram @adrianballinger, through his website and if you’d like to climb with him, check out Alpenglow Expeditions. If you like this episode, please subscribe, share with your friends and give us a positive rating. You can find more at www.choosethehardway.com and you can get in touch @hardwaypod on Twitter or send an email to choosethehardway@gmail.com. MORE ABOUT ADRIAN: He is also the founder and CEO of Alpenglow expeditions and has led expeditions where more than 100 clients have successfully summited Everest, Lhotse (the 4th tallest mountain in world), Cho Oyu (6th tallest) and Manaslu (the 8th tallest mountain in the world). He climbs, guides and skis all over the world including North and South America, the Himalayas and Africa. Adrian has been a sponsored climber since he was a teen. His current sponsors include Eddie Bauer, La Sportiva, Petzl, Kaenon, Goal Zero, Hypoxico, Alpenglow Sports and High Altitude Fitness. One of my favorite musicians is Bob Mould. And one of my favorite Bob Mould songs is Wishing Well. I’m not great at is remembering song lyrics. But a Bob Mould lyric that I do remember, is this--There’s a price you pay for a wish to come true--trade a small piece of your life. In this episode you’ll hear about what Adrian Ballinger has had to trade to be who he is and achieve what he has achieved.

In episode four of Afterglow, we sit down with Emily Harrington, one of the most accomplished all around rock and mountain climbers of the last 25 years. Our conversation provides a revealing glimpse into the heart and mind of one of the most badass women alive. Not only has Emily climbed some of the hardest 5.14a sport climbs in the world, she’s one of only a few athletes to have free climbed Golden Gate, a 5.13b route on Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan. She has also summited Mt. Everest, been a five-time US National Sport Climbing Champion and been victorious at the Ouray Ice Climbing Festival. Her accomplishments don’t stop there though …. in recent years she has skied off the summit of Cho Oyu (the 6th tallest peak in the world) while achieving a speed record on the coveted and challenging Himalayan peak. She’s an extremely diverse and accomplished mountain athlete who is constantly reinventing her career and challenging herself in new and exciting ways. In our open and honest chat, Emily gives the audience personal insights into her driven, committed and compassionate soul. We talk at length about how her mother’s Parkinson diagnosis has affected her, how she attempts to transparently document her life on social media (regardless of how it looks), how she processes failure in her athletic life and translates it to her daily routine and how she derives happiness and fulfillment from suffering.

She is the first woman to climb two 8,000m peaks in 24 hours (Everest and Lhotse). She’s also skied from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu in Tibet and climbed and skied several high peaks in Bolivia and Argentina. Elsewhere, Hilaree has cut turns on remote volcanoes in the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Lebanon, as well as many first descents in the tight couloirs of Baffin Island.Born and raised in the Northwest, Hilaree began skiing at age 3 at Stevens Pass in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Eventually she moved to the Chamonix Valley of France where she learned most of what she needed to know in order to take her skiing skills to the next level- ski mountaineering.In addition to her work for The North Face, Hilaree is a mother to two young boys, and although they have changed her life dramatically, her passion for the mountains has not abated. She lives in Telluride, Colorado and finds her sanity in the beautiful San Juan Mountains.

Hilaree Nelson (formerly O'Neill) is one of the world's premier ski mountaineers. She is most recently known for the first descent of the 29,940 foot Lhotse couloir, one of the most coveted and sought after high altitude ski lines in the world. Nelson's CV is absolutely staggering. She is the first woman to climb two 8,000m peaks in 24 hours (Everest and Lhotse). She’s also skied from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu in Tibet and climbed and skied several high peaks in Bolivia and Argentina. Elsewhere, Hilaree has cut turns on remote volcanoes in the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Lebanon, as well as many first descents in the tight couloirs of Baffin Island. Nelson is also known for her story of redemption on Papsura, the Peak of Evil and a high-profile North Face expedition that went sideways on Hkakabo Razi in Myanmar. She was named "Adventurer of the Year" by National Geographic in 2018. Born and raised in the Northwest, Hilaree began skiing at age 3 at Stevens Pass in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Eventually she moved to the Chamonix Valley of France where she learned most of what she needed to know in order to take her skiing skills to the next level- ski mountaineering. In addition to her work for The North Face, Hilaree is a mother to two young boys, and although they have changed her life dramatically, her passion for the mountains has not abated. She lives in Telluride, Colorado and finds her sanity in the beautiful San Juan Mountains. ​I​nspired by ​Hilaree?

“It's truly a necessity to have a passion as a compass in life.”Hilaree NelsonIt’s so easy to get comfortable. To accept life as it is. To kick back — and just settle.Luxury and ease are what we are taught to seek. But it's actually at odds with the vitality and fulfillment most desire. My experience is that life gets interesting when you have the courage, strength and fortitude to step outside your comfort zone, face a little fear and test your limits.Because extending your boundaries strips away the non-essential, and shows you exactly who you really are.Fail or succeed, this is where all the magic happens. The growth. And a life fueled by purpose and passion.Today we explore these themes with North Face athlete Hilaree Nelson, one of the world's most accomplished adventure athletes.Named one of National Geographic’s 2018 Adventurers of the Year, Hilaree specializes in ski-mountaineering — a discipline that involves huge and often technical mountain ascents either on skis or carrying them, then descending said peaks on skis.Over the course of her storied career, Hilaree has conquered some of the most exotic and treacherous mountain ranges on Earth. Among her many accomplishments:* the first woman to climb both Everest and its 8,000-meter neighbor, Lhotse, in a 24-hour period* the first person to ski down all five of the Mongolian Altai’s “Holy Peaks”* skied from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu in Tibet* summited peaks and volcanoes in remote locations across Russia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Bolivia, Argentina, Lebanon & TibetI first came across Hilaree by way of Down To Nothing, a stunning documentary by Renan Ozturk that chronicles a 2014 National Geographic expedition to be the first to ascend the summit of Hkakabo Razi in Myanmar to determine if it is indeed Southeast Asia’s highest point. It’s a gorgeous and gripping glimpse of Hilaree’s skill and tenacity in the face of a uniquely extraordinary challenge.This is her story.It’s an incredible conversation about fear, risk resilience, adventure and potential. It’s about balancing the pull of adventure against her responsibilities as a single mom to two boys. It’s about the allure of the outdoors.But mostly, this is an exchange about the virtues of placing yourself outside that comfort zone – and what that can teach us about potential. The preciousness of life. And what it means to be truly alive.Hilaree is a badass. It's a pleasure to share her experience. And I sincerely hope it inspires you to seek more adventure in your life.For the visually inclined, you can watch the conversation on YouTube at: http://bit.ly/richandhilareeIf you are enjoying the video versions of the show, do me a favor and subscribe!Peace + Plants,Listen, Watch & SubscribeApple Podcasts | YouTube | Soundcloud | Stitcher | See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Charlene Gibson grew up as a studious bookworm, who wasn't keen on the outdoors. She is an only child who was brought up by her Mum and Nana in a pretty rough area of Scotland, near Glasgow. Although an avid reader of Enid Blyton's Famous Five books, there was really nothing adventurous about her at all. However, in her mid 30s, following the break-up of a long-term relationship, she discovered her inner adventurer when, to avoid spending Christmas alone, she booked on a trekking holiday to Morocco. Despite the horror of having to nip behind a rock, armed with only a roll of toilet paper and some matches, she discovered that she loved the trip (albeit still not quite used to nipping behind a rock!) and decided that she wanted more. Trips to Turkey, Morocco (again), Kazakhstan, India, Peru and Nepal followed, with each trip being more strenuous and challenging than the last. That could only lead to one thing - mountaineering! In 2013 she decided to aim high and successfully summited Mera Peak in Nepal, which is classed as a 'trekking' peak. Despite the success, it highlighted to her the limits of her mountaineering skillset and how fortunate she'd been that nothing had gone wrong. Several high-quality mountaineering courses later and rather more experience under her belt saw her looking for a worthy challenge to help celebrate (or commiserate) turning 50 in 2016. And what better challenge than attempting an 8000m peak for the first time. On 1st October 2016, Charlene became the oldest British woman to summit Cho Oyu (8201m) and living proof that the most unlikely people can sometimes do the most surprising things - it's certainly been a surprise to her mother. As of March 2018, her Cho Oyu record still stands, but will be under threat in Spring 2018, when two British women will be vying for it. Charlene's next challenge is to attempt Ama Dablam in October 2018 Show notes Growing up in Scotland and joining the civil service Growing up as an only child, with not much interest in the outside Starting trekking in 2000 Hating PE and doing everything she could to get out of it Getting into mountain biking, but never describing herself as outdoorsy Breaking up with the boyfriend after 12 years Deciding not to spend Christmas and New Year alone Heading to Morocco to trek for 2 weeks and getting hooked! First time going on holiday by herself and feeling nervous Taking that first step and not knowing what to expect Why it’s about challenging yourself and not about other people Enjoying being uncomfortable and starting to understand more about her limits Dealing with lost luggage & how to handle it! Being shy and dealing with the group dynamics Developing fitness and starting to run - even though she doesn’t like running and would never call herself a runner! The Everest Marathon - being fit and healthy enough to start it. Rally Driving from Plymouth to Dakar (in a free car costing less than £100!)  Looking for a change in 2013! Deciding on mountaineering! Summiting Mera Peak in Nepal and wanting to see how she coped with the altitude Developing technical skills… while on the trip and doing courses to continue to develop the skills needed Tibet - 1st October 2016 - Climbing Cho Oyu (6th highest mountain in the world!) 8,201 metres!

In May 2000, after a childhood growing up in Aspen and climbing and skiing in Colorado’s Elk Mountains, twins Mike and Steve Marolt and life-long friend Jim Gile became the first Americans ever to climb and ski from above 8,000 meters / 26,250 feet when they skied from the central peak of Shishapangma, Tibet.  This accomplishment placed them in an elite class amongst the world’s greatest ski mountaineers. In 2003, the team followed up with a first-ever American ski descent of the north ridge of Everest.  In 2007, they skied the north ridge of Everest for the second time, and also became the first Americans and only the fifth people ever to attain multiple ski descents from above 8,000 meters when they skied from the summit of Cho Oyu, Tibet.  Since then, they have completed many ski descents from the world’s greatest peaks, including six from above 7,000 meters, making them the world leaders in high altitude ski descents.  All told, their ski resume spans over 25 years with expeditions to some 40 of the world’s greatest and highest peaks. They only climb “pure style” using no supplemental oxygen, porters, or altitude drugs, an aspect that enhances their accomplishments. The Marolt brothers’ ski heritage starts four generations ago when the family first arrived in Aspen Valley.  Beginning as simple miners and barkeeps, they became ranchers and eventually world-class skiers.  Mike and Steve’s father, Max Marolt, joined the US Olympic team in 1954 and skied in the Squaw Valley Winter Olympics in 1960.  Max’s career in the ski industry spanned 60 years.  He and his brother Bill have both been inducted into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame. The trio has also established themselves as independent filmmakers, having produced eight adventure documentary films, including SKIING EVEREST, which won the Ski Channel’s Best Adventure Film of the Year in 2010.  SKIING EVEREST has premiered all over the world, most recently on ESPN and PBS, and has just been converted to 3D, making it the first film on Everest to premiere in that format.  To learn more about Mike email him atmarolt@rof.net.

“I think what worked in my favor the most was total ignorance, I moved there not thinking I was going to make my whole life skiing and climbing mountains.” -Hilaree O'Neil On this episode of the “Nausicaa Cast” podcast, presented by Powder Radio, host Hadley Hammer interviews ski mountaineer Hilaree O’Neill. One of the most adventurous women in the outdoor sphere, she has made first descents all over the world. In 1996, O’Neill headed to Chamonix with plans to stay a few months. Ultimately, she stayed for six years, competing in (and winning) some of the early freeskiing competitions and opening her eyes to an emerging world of skiing. “I think what worked in my favor the most was total ignorance,” says O’Neill. “I moved there not thinking I was going to make my whole life skiing and climbing mountains.” Bio She’s skied from the Himalayan summit of Cho Oyu in Tibet and climbed and skied several high peaks in Bolivia and Argentina. Elsewhere, she’s cut turns on remote volcanoes in the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, in Mongolia, Pakistan, Lebanon, as well as many first descents in the tight couloirs of Baffin Island. Born and raised in the Northwest, Hilaree began skiing at age 3 at Steven’s Pass in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Eventually she moved to the Chamonix Valley of France where she learned most of what she needed to know in order to take her skiing skills to the next level- ski mountaineering. In addition to her travels as an athlete for The North Face, Hilaree is a mother to two young boys, and although they have changed her life dramatically, her passion for the mountains has not abated. Hilaree lives with her family in Telluride, Colorado and finds her sanity in the beautiful San Juan Mountains. Follow Hilaree Instagram Facebook Read

Mt.Everest(Sagarmatha)8848m, view from Kala Patthar-5545m in Nepal's Khumbu Valley region[/caption] It’s one of the most coveted treks in the world. Everest Base Camp, Nepal. Far East Adventure Travel is proud to present two podcasts completely devoted to the magic of trekking this region. From crossing the sometimes trecherous Chola Pass to the final steps arriving at Everest Base Camp. And an early morning ascent of Kala Patthar for one of the best views of Everest in all of Nepal. Join me John Saboe for one of Asia’s great adventures. Trekking to Everest Base Camp. Everest Base Camp, Nepal. Right from the start I was in for a hair raising experience. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, rated as one of the most dangerous airports in the world is often canceled in October, the busy season due to weather conditions. If it’s not cloudy or windy in Lukla, it is in Kathmandu, making it extremely tricky to complete scheduled flights. You can be stranded in Lukla for days waiting for a weather window. Same this goes in Kathmandu. Days! You can avoid the whole worry of flight delays and dangerous weather conditions by trekking all the way to Lukla. Take a bus from Kathmandu to Jiri, about 9 hours. Then just walk for a week! For me, I was extremely lucky to be on one of the first flights that day from Kathmandu to the start of the trek with favorable weather conditions. Previously I had trekked in a couple of regions in Nepal and had been to Everest Base Camp in Tibet. Up until now I had avoided the EBC trek for more remote and quieter trails in Nepal’s Himalaya. But this was the same ground that many mountaineers had trampled including the first two to summit the world’s highest mountain, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. My curiousity with the trails, the lore of the region and the super friendly Sherpa people that make up the largest ethnic group in the Khumbu Valley could no longer be suppressed because of some crowded trails and teahouses with wine bars. As we approached Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla I couldn’t help but think about the History Channel show Most Extreme Airports. In 2010 it rated Tenzing/Hillary the most dangerous airport in the world. There’s no chance for a go around, meaning an aborted landing on final approach due to the high terrain beyond the northern end of the runway. At the southern end, a steeply angled drop into the valley. A safe landing, and an exciting start to one of the world’s great treks! Just have to dodge a few yak before we started. Good practise for the crowded trails we were about to enter. Lukla actually means place of goat or sheep, but all I ever saw were yak, and maybe some horses. As this town is the start and finish for trekking in the Khumbu and Gokyo Valleys there are many lodges, guesthouses, restaurants and even an Irish Pub here! One last stop at the police station for permit checks and we were on our way. At Thadakoshi the first of many steel suspension bridges over the Dud Khosi River we would cross. We took a rest and lunch at Phakding, where most stay the night before trekking onward the next day to Namache Bazaar. The porters with boundless energy take a break for a game of volleyball. I had heard that the trails in the Khumbu Valley were crowded in the peak season in October but I was not prepared for the constant herds of yaks used for moving in camping and supplies for the big trekking groups as well as just bringing goods into the valley for many guesthouses and lodges here. Always remember to move to the side when you see caravans coming. These creatures can get quite nasty. It’s always a great experience to hike through different landscapes and geography on a single trek. The lower Khumbu Dud Khosi valley is full of grazing animals, rich forests and waterfalls. We arrived at our lodgings for the night in the village of Monjo at an altitude of 2835 meters. The guesthouses at these lower elevations are quite luxurious compared to the high altitude. So it’s a good time to appreciate an attached bathroom with a flush toilet and hot water. The next morning we were heading to the gate of Sagarmatha National Park, Sagarmatha is the Nepali name for Mt. Everest. Including Everest, the park is home to 8 peaks over 7000 meters high. It’s also where rare species like the Snow Leopard and Lesser or red panda reside. This is also another police station where permits are checked and trekkers registered. The next stop would be Namche Bazaar, the second largest village in the Khumbu Valley that also has the claim of being the most expensive town in Nepal. Most everything transported into Namche Bazaar must come in on the back of a horse or yak. Sorry though no Mr. Doughnut here, and one piece might cost up to $3. It’s also an acclimatization stop with most staying over two nights before heading into the high Himalaya. More steel suspension bridge crossings and busy trails before a brief rest stop. This one with special prominence as the first chance to gaze at the top of the highest mountain in the world, Everest. One last checkpoint before arriving in Namche Bazaar and a customary kora of the Buddhist stupa that greets you at the entrance to the village. It’s a good place for a two night stay with lots of shops where you can pick up last minute trekking supplies. There’s also plenty of cafes and souvenir stalls. The next morning we walked up the steep steps of the village for an acclimatization hike and to fix our eyes on the most famous peaks on the planet. Just an everyday place for these kids from the Home Away from Home School, where children in the Khumbu Valley can get a solid education without being separated from their families. The snow-capped peak to the left-Mt. Everest 8848meters. The highest surface point on the planet, the roof of the world. The weather can change without warning at high altitude. Within minutes our views of some of the most prominent peaks of the Khumbu Valley disappeared. Ama Dablam, not the highest but certainly one of the most beautiful mountains in the world at first thickly veiled, eventually vanishing in the clouds. The hundreds of trekkers continued to move up from the village,views or no views, putting in their necessary acclimatization time to ensure a successful Everest Base Camp trek. We had finished our work for the day and were back to the crowds, traffic jams and gridlock of Namche Bazaar. The next morning we returned to the trail with the spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam joined by the hundreds of others who were on EBC itineraries. Nearly 10,000 tourists will visit the Khumbu Valley or Everest region on average in October, the busiest time of the year. You really must pay attention when trekking these trails especially when so many others are walking both ways. Not to mention the hundreds of horses and yak used to pack in gear, food and other supplies. Stopping on the trail and stepping out of the way of trekkers and animals is the best way to enjoy the breathtaking views. You must! It was time to move off this trail at Sanasa and head for the Gokyo Valley. Later to rejoin the trail to Everest Base Camp after crossing the Chola La Pass. The Gokyo valley’s trails are much quieter even in the busy month of October compared to the Khumbu Valley. Adding a few days to an Everest Base Camp trek will send you into a Shangri La of high altitude lakes, the highest in the world, and breathtaking views of the Himalaya. Arriving at Gokyo Village with Cho Oyu, the 6th highest mountain in the world and a sunrise view of Everest and sister peaks from the top of Gokyo Ri was challenging with rewards few ever get. Returning to the Khumbu Valley and resuming the trek to Everest Base Camp would take us across the Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest in Nepal and possibly the whole Himalaya before arriving at Thangnak for an overnight rest. The next morning we would rise early for a summit of the Chola Pass at 5420 meters. This is a challenging portion of the trek with a required early 4am rise and the first hour or so in complete darkness with only a headlamp for light. I personally struggled a little on this day with a slower pace due to a strong cold I was fighting off. This can be a dangerous pass to cross with an unstable glacier at the top and slippery sections. The approach is steep and perhaps even more dangerous if you are coming from the other direction and the Khumbu Valley. A favorable weather window is important as the pass is almost impossible to cross after a heavy snowfall. Success and overwhelming joy was shared by all that day under sunny skies. There was still a few trekking hours to log in before arriving at our next stop, Dzhong lha. The views while crossing back into the Khumbu Valley were heart-stopping with Ama Dablam at 6170 meters commanding our attention as we descended into the valley. Ama Dablam means mother’s necklace, the long ridges on either side like a mother’s arms cradling a child. The hanging glacier like the double pendant worn by Sherpa women. It felt especially rewarding when we arrived in Dzhong lha after the longest and hardest day of the trek. The accomplishment of crossing the Cho La pass felt like a big check mark ticked off. It was now time to rest in the dining hall and warm up by the yak dung fuelled fire. Some of the most exciting days of the Everest Base Camp trek were still ahead. So pile on the dung my friend, we need to stay warm! Next time on Far East Adventure Travel Podcast heart stopping views of the Himalaya and the conclusion to The Ultimate Trekking Adventure-Everest Base Camp.

Alexander Barber is a high altitude mountaineer whose tick list is characterized by solo ascents, without sherpa support, and without supplemental oxygen. These include Cho Oyu, Manaslu, and most recently an attempt on Annapurna which was cut short by the Nepal Earthquake. Alex is member of the American Mountain Guides Association and formally a guide for Rainier Mountaineering.

Hoy hablamos con el himalayista gasteiztarra JUAN VALLEJO para que nos desvele las claves de su próxima expedición junto con Alberto Iñurrategi y Mikel Zabalza que pondrán en marcha el próximo martes rumbo a la cara sur del Piaju Peak con sus 6.610 metros. Ayer presentaron el proyecto en Bilbao junto al Wolk On Project que se une a la cordada para luchar contra las enfermedades neurodegenerativas: hoy queremos que nos dé Juan todas las claves de una expedición a la que le seguirá la cara sur del Jannu y la cara suroeste del Cho Oyu, siempre el estilo alpino, en busca de la máxima dificultad y, si se puede, transitando por rutas nuevas.

Looking to move to a small mountain resort off the beaten path that attracts a pinch of celebrity, yet still maintains its rugged charm? Telluride just might be for you. Backed up against a box canyon, the historic mining town of Telluride was established by gold miners seeking their fortune. The jagged peaks of the rugged San Juan Mountains still bear the scars of old mine sites and ghost towns haunt the area with echoes of the past. And while you may see celebrities here, they aren’t the main attraction.  Locals pride themselves on keeping it real, and the hometown artists are just as famous in town as any name brand film star. Why come here? Epic chutes. No lift lines.  No freeways - the nearest stoplight is 45 miles away. Dictated by nature, Telluride will never become a big city with large bedroom communities of workers commuting along a busy highway. It can’t.  It’s at the end of the road. And I mean that in a great way. World-class ski mountaineer, Hilaree O’Neill, has chased adventure on the world’s biggest mountains. Originally from Washington, she carved her first turns at 3.  Seeking bigger challenges after Colorado College, she moved to Chamonix, France and discovered the world of big mountain skiing and climbing. A passion for big descents led her to ski volcanoes in Russia and mountains in Mongolia, Pakistan, Lebanon, Cho Oyu in Tibet and Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. Outside Magazine named Hilaree one of the most adventurous women in the world of sports:  A well-earned title. By becoming the first woman, and only the fourth human ever to climb Everest and Lhotse in a continuous push, Hilaree entered the record books for high-altitude innovation and prowess. Hilaree continues to travel the globe as an adventurer for The North Face, always ready for new challenges. But her true compass always points home to Telluride where she lives with her husband and two boys. Hilaree tells me what it’s like to live and ski this mountain town.
