For over a decade, sorafenib remained unchallenged as first-line therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma, based on the SHARP trial, which showed survival increasing from 7.9 to 10.7 months. This demonstrated modest efficacy in a disease notoriously resistant to systemic treatment. That drought broke in 2020, when IMbrave150 demonstrated that atezolizumab plus bevacizumab beat sorafenib outright, pushing median survival past 19 months and putting immunotherapy on the map for liver cancer. Two years later, HIMALAYA proved that a single priming dose of anti-CTLA-4 could unlock durable responses, with the STRIDE regimen nearly doubling five-year survival compared with sorafenib. Then IMbrave050 asked whether that success could move earlier, into the adjuvant setting after resection — and the early promise didn't hold up on longer follow-up. Together, these three trials mark both immunotherapy's arrival in liver cancer and the limits of assuming it translates cleanly across settings.Trials Discussed on Today's Episode:HIMALAYA TrialIMbrave 050IMbrave 150For more episodes, resources and blog posts, visit www.inquisitiveonc.comPlease find us on Twitter @InquisitiveOnc!If you want us to look at a specific trial or subject, email us at inquisitiveonc@gmail.comArt courtesy of Taryn SilverMusic courtesy of AlisiaBeats: https://pixabay.com/users/alisiabeats-39461785/Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

God's Own Land: Sacred Landscape, Pilgrim Economy and Religious Change in the Ganga Himalaya (Lever Press, 2026) follows the tectonic shift from traditional religious pilgrimage in the early twentieth-century to contemporary pilgrim tourism, in which ever-burgeoning visitor numbers have brought both benefits and challenges to the Garhwal region of India—the source of Hindu India's sacred river, the Ganges. Despite Hinduism's regional and sectarian variation, India's Garhwal Himalaya region is one the most sacred places to Hindus, drawing pilgrims across sectarian lines from throughout the subcontinent and the world. This sacred land—dev bhumi or “land of the gods”—appears in foundational Hindu stories describing the presence and activity of gods, goddesses, saints, and cultural heroes.This study from James G. Lochtefeld draws out Hindu convictions regarding the Garhwal's eternal and continuing sanctity as a holy region, based on the premise of an “imagined landscape.” This region is strongly associated with divine activity and yet this landscape is also a real place with a real history inhabited by real people, who have historically been poor because of the challenges created by the region's geography. Juxtaposing the history of the region with its construction in the Hindu imaginary, this multidisciplinary study unpacks the nuanced image of the region, its religious significance, and the impacts of pilgrimages on the community through textual, historical, and ethnographic methods.

This week, Live Happy Now visits the mountains — not to climb them, but to learn from them. Alpinist and award-winning author Michael Schauch joins us to explore how nature, intuition, and the practice of “non‑self” can help us navigate a world that feels increasingly fast, loud, and divided. His stories from the Himalaya and his new book Anatta: Heart of Wisdom offer a grounded, hopeful way to move through troubled times with more clarity and compassion. In this episode, you'll learn: Why understanding “non‑self” helps us reduce conflict and polarization. How nature reveals our true patterns — and helps us reconnect with others. Practical ways to quiet the mind, dissolve reactive habits, and respond with compassion.
Alasdair Mckenzie, un jeune alpiniste européen de 20 ans, a déjà gravi les 14 sommets les plus hauts du monde. Sa passion pour la montagne a commencé après avoir mis fin à sa carrière de ski, choisissant de suivre un chemin de vie plus en harmonie avec son amour d'enfance pour l'alpinisme.

"Alles ist gerade so viel." "Ich bin erschöpft, aber ich schaffe es einfach nicht abzuschalten." "Wie soll ich bei all dem, was in der Welt passiert, noch zur Ruhe kommen?" Erkennst du dich darin wieder? Dann ist diese Folge für dich. Diese Folge ist eine Fokusfolge – das bedeutet, das Gespräch existiert bereits in voller Länge, wurde hier aber neu aufbereitet und auf die wertvollsten Erkenntnisse destilliert, damit du das Wesentliche kompakt und direkt mitnehmen kannst. In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Swami – Mönch und spiritueller Lehrer – über die eine Frage, die uns durch alle Zeiten begleitet: Wie finde ich das, was sich nicht verändert, wenn sich alles andere ständig wandelt? Unsere Vorlieben, unsere Beziehungen, unsere Definition von Erfolg. Alles ändert sich. Warum also erschrecken, wenn es sich ändert? Swami erzählt die Geschichte von Alexander dem Großen, der einen Yogi im Himalaya traf und was dieser ihn über eine Stärke lehrte, die weitaus mächtiger war, als die des Feldherrn: innere Stärke! Du wirst in dieser Folge verstehen: Es geht nicht darum, mehr zu wollen. Sondern darum, für einen Moment nichts zu wollen. +++ Mein neues Buch "Heute hör ich auf zu zweifeln": https://amzn.to/4veLpms Melde dich kostenfrei zum Newsletter an: https://sarahdesai.de/mindful-minute Meine Ausbildung und Kurse findest du hier: https://sarahdesai.de
El catedrático Diego Rivera describe cómo diversas especies vegetales han desarrollado estrategias asombrosas para prosperar en hábitats extremos caracterizados por condiciones ambientales muy difíciles. En entornos marcados por el fuego, la secuoya de California y el pino canario destacan por su capacidad de regeneración; el pino canario, en particular, puede rebrotar directamente desde su tronco tras ser alcanzado por las llamas o la actividad volcánica. En las grandes alturas, plantas como el Ranunculus glacialis y la Saxifraga desafían el frío extremo floreciendo entre la nieve en los Alpes a casi 4,000 metros de altitud, mientras que en el Himalaya se han detectado especies del género Saussurea por encima de los 6,000 metros. Finalmente, la flora también conquista medios de extrema salinidad, como los almarjales y saladares, donde plantas como las salicornias y los tarays filtran sales y lodos, demostrando una resistencia que incluso supera a cultivos rústicos como la cebada.

VOV1 - Mưa gió mùa kéo dài tiếp tục gây lũ lụt và sạt lở đất nghiêm trọng tại khu vực Himalaya, khiến nhiều người thiệt mạng, hàng chục nghìn người bị ảnh hưởng và làm tê liệt nhiều tuyến giao thông huyết mạch ở cả Ấn Độ và Nepal.
In 25 Jahren Tagesgespräch waren Expeditionen und Alpinismus wiederholt Thema. Für die Sommerserie treffen sich Evelyne Binsack, die die «drei Pole» der Welt aus eigener Kraft erreichte, Albin Schelbert, der Erstbesteiger des Dhaulagiri 1960, und Frank Senn, Bergdokumentarfilmer seit 30 Jahren. Max Eiselin stellte 1960 eine Truppe zusammen, die den 8000er im Himalaya, den Dhaulagiri, besteigen sollte. Es war der erste Berg, an dem sich Alpinisten versuchten, da man ihn zuerst für den höchsten der Welt hielt. Es sollte der letzte Gipfel sein, den jemand erreichte. Wie kam Albin Schelbert zu dieser Expedition? Warum nahmen sie einen Pilatus Porter mit? Und warum war Schelbert der erste Mensch auf dem Dhaulagiri? Evelyne Binsack reiste als Helikopterpilotin mit anderen Plänen zum Mount Everest, als ihn zu erklimmen. Warum war sie dennoch die erste Schweizerin auf dem Gipfel? Seit 30 Jahren verfolgt Frank Senn das Geschehen rund um die höchsten Gipfel und steilsten Wände als Dokumentarfilmer. Woher kommt diese Faszination? In der Sommerserie 25 Jahre Tagesgespräch treffen sich die ehemaligen Gäste zu einer gemeinsamen Runde. Binsack, Schelbert und Senn sind die Gäste in der Sommerserie 25 Jahre Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.
In deze bijzondere podcast leer je kijken naar water zoals je nog niet eerder hebt gedaan. Het zal je dan ook ongetwijfeld altijd bijblijven. Li An Phoa deelt over haar missie om rivieren drinkbaar te maken. Water stroomt. Overal. Door alles, in alles. Over water kun je de hele wereld bereiken. We ademen water uit. Het stroomt onder de Sahara door. Het verdampt, bevriest of wordt vloeibaar. Het stijgt op en slaat neer. Het circuleert in de atmosfeer. Het wordt niet meer, het wordt niet minder. We bestaan voor zo'n 60% uit water. Het oudste water in ons lichaam is vier dagen oud. Daarvoor was het water ergens anders. Als je Li An hoort praten krijgt water iets sacraals. Bevlogen deelt ze over haar missie om drinkbare rivieren weer vanzelfsprekend te maken. Ze geeft een ander paradigma op water mee, waardoor je er voor altijd anders naar zult kijken. Luister deze aflevering en deel in de missie van Li An Phoa.

Por aquí ya solo nos quedan unos días de trabajo más intenso, porque a partir de la última semana de este mes todo se tranquiliza. Así fue los dos veranos anteriores y parece que no va a haber cambios en ese sentido. Casi todo el mundo estará de vacaciones, cada uno haciendo lo que más le guste. Unos irán a la playa, otros harán visitas culturales y quizá algunos vayan a relajarse a la montaña. Digo a relajarse porque hay personas que no van precisamente con ese objetivo, sino con otro más ambicioso, más complicado. Me refiero a los amantes del alpinismo, a los amantes de subir hasta lo más alto de las grandes montañas del planeta. Y es que la noticia de hoy trata precisamente de eso. Pero antes de escucharla, creo que tenemos que situarnos un poco. Cuando hablamos de montañas altas, hay un grupo muy especial que se conoce como los ochomiles. Son las montañas que superan los ocho mil metros de altura. En todo el mundo hay catorce… y todas están en una misma zona: entre Nepal, China y Pakistán. La más famosa de todas es, claro, el Everest, con 8.849 metros. Es la más alta del planeta, lo que muchos llaman el techo del mundo. Pero no es la única. Llegar a estas montañas no es solo cuestión de fuerza física. Es un desafío extremo. A esa altura hay muy poco oxígeno, las temperaturas pueden bajar muchísimo y el cuerpo humano empieza a fallar. Por eso, durante muchos años, subir un ochomil era algo reservado a muy pocas personas. Y ahí entran los grandes escaladores de la historia. Durante décadas, estos alpinistas eran vistos casi como exploradores. Personas que se enfrentaban a la montaña con muy pocos medios, arriesgando la vida en cada expedición. Por ejemplo, Reinhold Messner, uno de los nombres más importantes del alpinismo. Fue el primero en subir los catorce ochomiles sin oxígeno artificial. Eso significa que lo hizo en condiciones muchísimo más difíciles que la mayoría. También podríamos hablar de Edmund Hillary y Tenzing Norgay, que fueron los primeros en llegar a la cima del Everest en 1953. Ese momento marcó un antes y un después en la historia del alpinismo. Y si nos vamos a tiempos más recientes, encontramos a escaladores que siguen buscando retos extremos, rutas nuevas, o formas más puras de subir, sin ayudas externas. Pero aquí viene lo interesante… y lo que conecta directamente con la noticia que vamos a escuchar. Porque lo que antes era un desafío reservado a unos pocos… hoy se ha abierto a muchas más personas. Con dinero, con guías, con oxígeno y con apoyo logístico, subir al Everest es algo más accesible que hace treinta o cuarenta años. Y eso ha cambiado completamente la forma de entender estas montañas. Así que, con esta idea en la cabeza, vamos a escuchar ahora lo que está pasando hoy en el Everest. La noticia pertenece, como casi siempre, a Radio Nacional de España. “Colas, Sandra, para subir al Everest, la cima más alta del mundo. 274 escaladores en un solo día, un récord absoluto. Aurora Moreno, buenas tardes. Buenas tardes. Sí, el último récord en 2019 estaba en 223 escaladores. Nepal ha dado este año 494 permisos, cada uno de ellos a 15.000 dólares para intentar ascender al techo del mundo. Convertido en una aventura comercial, lamentan los grandes alpinistas como Miguel Ángel García Gallego, uno de los mayores especialistas en alpinismo de dificultad. La gente que va ahí, o sea, digamos que coge un taxi para subir al Everest. No está a la altura ni psicológica, ni habitualmente física y mental para hacer una ascensión, digamos con unos medios proporcionados y no recurrir a este tipo de artificios para volver a casa diciendo que te has subido al techo del mundo. Los serpas preparan previamente los tramos más peligrosos y cargan con el oxígeno que llevarán sus clientes. Aún así suele haber víctimas mortales por las bajas temperaturas, las tormentas y cualquiera de las muchas dificultades naturales de una montaña que alcanza los 8.849 metros. El ansia de negocio y de ganar dinero, pues implica coger gente que no está a la altura técnicamente de aquello en lo que se mete y se traduce al final con frecuencia en problemas y en tragedias. Una expedición puede tener un coste entre 50.000 y 200.000 dólares. En esa cifra está incluido el precio de retirar la basura de estas escaladas. Pero ni el gobierno nepalí ni los serpas terminan por hacerlo, con lo que el Everest se está convirtiendo en un basurero cubierto de nieve y hielo.” Qué pena, ¿verdad? El ser humano está acabando con todo, está contaminando todo: los océanos, las montañas e, incluso, el espacio, porque cada vez hay más satélites por ahí arriba. Bueno, vamos a seguir con lo nuestro, que es explicar las palabras y expresiones más complicadas. -Colas: una fila de personas que esperan su turno para hacer algo. -“Había una cola larguísima para entrar al museo”. - “Siempre hay colas en el aeropuerto en verano”. -Cima: es la parte más alta de una montaña o, en sentido general, el punto máximo de algo. -“Llegaron a la cima después de muchas horas de caminata”. -“Ese proyecto fue la cima de su carrera profesional”. -Techo del mundo: es una expresión que se usa para referirse al punto más alto del planeta, especialmente al Everest. Es una metáfora. -“Muchos sueñan con llegar al techo del mundo algún día”. -“Ese lugar parece el techo del mundo por las vistas que tiene”. -Lamentar: significa expresar tristeza, pena o arrepentimiento por algo. -“Lamentó no haber estudiado más cuando era joven”. -“La empresa lamentó los errores cometidos”. -Estar a la altura: significa estar preparado o tener el nivel necesario para una situación. -“No estaba a la altura del desafío”. -“Confío en que estarás a la altura del trabajo”. -Recurrir (a): significa utilizar algo como solución o ayuda. -“Tuve que recurrir a un diccionario para entender el texto”. -“Recurren a un abogado cuando tienen problemas legales”. -Artificios: los artificios son medios o recursos artificiales que se usan para facilitar algo o aparentar algo. -“Ganó el concurso con artificios, no con talento real”. -“La película abusa de los artificios tecnológicos”. -Sherpas (serpas): son guías de montaña del Himalaya, muy experimentados en el alpinismo. -“Los sherpas conocen la montaña mejor que nadie”. -“Sin la ayuda de los sherpas, la expedición no habría sido posible”. -Tramos peligrosos: son partes de un recorrido que implican riesgo o dificultad. -“Hay tramos peligrosos en esta carretera de montaña”. -“Durante la ruta encontramos varios tramos peligrosos con hielo”. -Ansia: el ansia es un deseo muy fuerte, a veces excesivo. -“Tenía ansia de éxito desde muy joven”. -“Su ansia por ganar le hizo cometer errores”. -Basurero: es un lugar donde se acumula basura. -“La playa se ha convertido en un basurero”. -“No dejes el parque hecho un basurero”. “Colas, Sandra, para subir al Everest, la cima más alta del mundo. 274 escaladores en un solo día, un récord absoluto. Aurora Moreno, buenas tardes. Buenas tardes. Sí, el último récord en 2019 estaba en 223 escaladores.

Pero ni el gobierno nepalí ni los serpas terminan por hacerlo, con lo que el Everest se está convirtiendo en un basurero cubierto de nieve y hielo.” Muy bien. Ahora vamos a explicar lo que cuenta esta noticia, pero con otras palabras. Lo que están diciendo es que en el Everest, la montaña más alta del planeta, se están formando auténticas filas de personas para llegar a la cumbre. Imagínate la escena: alpinistas esperando su turno, como si estuvieran en una cola. En un solo día llegaron a subir 274 personas, lo que supone el número más alto registrado hasta ahora. El récord anterior era menor, así que estamos hablando de una cifra realmente llamativa. ¿Y por qué está pasando esto? Bueno, uno de los motivos es que Nepal ha autorizado este año a casi 500 personas para intentar la ascensión. Y cada permiso cuesta unos 15.000 dólares, así que hablamos de un negocio muy importante. De hecho, muchos expertos dicen que el Everest se ha convertido en una actividad muy comercial. Algunos alpinistas experimentados critican esta situación y dicen que hoy en día hay personas que suben casi sin esfuerzo propio, como si alguien les facilitara todo el camino. Según ellos, mucha gente que intenta llegar a la cima no tiene la preparación necesaria, ni a nivel físico ni mental. Es decir, no están realmente preparados para un desafío tan extremo. Además, utilizan ayudas externas. Por ejemplo, los sherpas, que son los guías de montaña, preparan antes las zonas más complicadas del recorrido, colocan cuerdas y transportan el oxígeno que utilizan los clientes. Aun así, el peligro sigue siendo muy alto. Las temperaturas son extremas, puede haber tormentas en cualquier momento y la falta de oxígeno hace que cualquier error sea muy grave. Por eso, cada año hay personas que pierden la vida. Otro aspecto importante es la presión económica. Las empresas que organizan estas expediciones quieren ganar dinero, y eso hace que acepten a personas que quizá no tienen el nivel suficiente. Y esto, al final, puede provocar situaciones muy peligrosas e incluso tragedias. Y hay un último problema del que también se habla mucho: la contaminación. Subir al Everest puede costar entre 50.000 y 200.000 dólares, y en ese precio se incluye, en teoría, la limpieza de residuos. Pero en la práctica no siempre se recoge toda la basura. Como consecuencia, la montaña se está llenando de desechos y poco a poco se está convirtiendo en un lugar sucio, cubierto de nieve… pero también de residuos. Como te decía hace unos minutos, una verdadera pena. Venga, escuchamos la noticia por última vez y seguimos con más cosas interesantes. “Colas, Sandra, para subir al Everest, la cima más alta del mundo. 274 escaladores en un solo día, un récord absoluto. Aurora Moreno, buenas tardes. Buenas tardes. Sí, el último récord en 2019 estaba en 223 escaladores. Nepal ha dado este año 494 permisos, cada uno de ellos a 15.000 dólares para intentar ascender al techo del mundo. Convertido en una aventura comercial, lamentan los grandes alpinistas como Miguel Ángel García Gallego, uno de los mayores especialistas en alpinismo de dificultad. La gente que va ahí, o sea, digamos que coge un taxi para subir al Everest. No está a la altura ni psicológica, ni habitualmente física y mental para hacer una ascensión, digamos con unos medios proporcionados y no recurrir a este tipo de artificios para volver a casa diciendo que te has subido al techo del mundo. Los serpas preparan previamente los tramos más peligrosos y cargan con el oxígeno que llevarán sus clientes. Aún así suele haber víctimas mortales por las bajas temperaturas, las tormentas y cualquiera de las muchas dificultades naturales de una montaña que alcanza los 8.849 metros. El ansia de negocio y de ganar dinero, pues implica coger gente que no está a la altura técnicamente de aquello en lo que se mete y se traduce al final con frecuencia en problemas y en tragedias. Una expedición puede tener un coste entre 50.000 y 200.000 dólares. En esa cifra está incluido el precio de retirar la basura de estas escaladas. Pero ni el gobierno nepalí ni los serpas terminan por hacerlo, con lo que el Everest se está convirtiendo en un basurero cubierto de nieve y hielo.” Lo que está pasando en el Everest no es un caso aislado. Forma parte de algo más grande: una tendencia muy actual, que tiene que ver con los retos personales. Cada vez más gente se plantea objetivos exigentes. Subir una montaña, correr una maratón, hacer un Ironman, cruzar un país en bici, o incluso cosas como bañarse en agua helada o participar en pruebas de resistencia extrema. Si lo piensas, todos estos retos tienen algo en común: son difíciles, requieren esfuerzo y, de alguna manera, te obligan a salir de tu zona de confort. Y eso, en principio, es algo positivo. Ponerse objetivos, superarse, mejorar… todo eso forma parte del crecimiento personal. Pero también hay otra cara. A veces, esos retos dejan de ser algo personal y se convierten en algo que hay que mostrar. Algo que hay que contar, compartir, enseñar. Como si no fuera suficiente hacerlo… sino que además hay que demostrarlo. Y ahí es donde la línea se vuelve un poco difusa. Porque una cosa es querer superarte, y otra es hacerlo por presión, por comparación o por la necesidad de validación externa. En el caso del Everest, esta idea se ve muy clara. Para algunas personas, llegar a la cima es un sueño auténtico. Pero para otras, quizá se convierte en una especie de meta simbólica: “he estado allí”, “lo he conseguido”, “puedo decirlo”. Y la pregunta que podemos hacernos es: ¿por qué? ¿Por la experiencia? ¿por el reto en sí? ¿o por lo que representa a los ojos de los demás? Y esto no solo pasa con el alpinismo. Pasa con muchos otros ámbitos de la vida. Al final, el reto no está tanto en lo que haces… sino en entender para qué lo haces. Bien, si te parece, terminamos con el repaso a las palabras y expresiones que hemos aprendido hoy. -Colas: una fila de personas que esperan su turno para hacer algo. -Cima: es la parte más alta de una montaña o, en sentido general, el punto máximo de algo. -Techo del mundo: es una expresión que se usa para referirse al punto más alto del planeta, especialmente al Everest. -Lamentar: significa expresar tristeza, pena o arrepentimiento por algo. -Estar a la altura: significa estar preparado o tener el nivel necesario para una situación. -Recurrir (a): significa utilizar algo como solución o ayuda. -Artificios: los artificios son medios o recursos artificiales que se usan para facilitar algo o aparentar algo. -Sherpas (serpas): son guías de montaña del Himalaya, muy experimentados en el alpinismo. -Tramos peligrosos: son partes de un recorrido que implican riesgo o dificultad. -Ansia: el ansia es un deseo muy fuerte, a veces excesivo. -Basurero: es un lugar donde se acumula basura.

A pesar de que muchos crean que China ha llegado a ser una superpotencia mundial los últimos años, la verdad es que hace más de doscientos años, China ya era el mayor imperio económico y cultural del mundo. El emperador Qianlong que se mantuvo en el poder durante más de 50 años, gobernó un imperio que se extiendía desde el Himalaya hasta el Mar Amarillo, una gran extensión de territorio con millones de personas donde la plata era esencial.
Japan, Nepal, Uganda, Kina og Algeriet.

Sam and Adrian open episode 59 with three news stories — a bolting controversy resolved (kind of?) on Snake Dike, the public comment window on the PARC Act's draft management plans, and freeride skiing's addition to the 2030 Olympics — before shifting into a full rundown of the Pakistan 8,000-meter season, now underway.Following spring season in the Himalaya, climbers and skiers move on to the Karakoram range, with the season often starting in June and peaking in July before temps warm too much into August. Why Pakistan Climbs in Summer Nepal and Tibet's Himalayan season runs spring and fall because their more southern latitude brings a powerful summer monsoon that makes climbing impossible — and increasingly, makes even the shoulder seasons too warm for features like the Khumbu Icefall to hold together. Pakistan's Karakoram sits further north and west, giving it a weather pattern closer to Europe or North America, with a summer window instead. That window is compressing too: teams are now pushing to finish by mid-July rather than mid-August as glaciers destabilize earlier each year.Nanga Parbat: A Season Already Winding Down — Except One Face Of Pakistan's five 8,000-meter peaks, Nanga Parbat climbs earliest, partly because it sits further south and is technically part of the Himalayan range rather than the Karakoram. The normal Diamir Face route is already falling out of condition. Meanwhile, a team is still attempting a new route on the Rupal Face — the mountain's massive alpine wall, home to some of the biggest lines in the world — in a pure alpine style (no camps, no fixed ropes, no pre-carrying gear).A Quieter Pakistan Season: War and Infrastructure This year's season is noticeably smaller. Sam and Adrian point to the ongoing conflict along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, which escalated sharply in February and forced expedition companies — including Alpenglow, along with Furtenbach Adventures and Madison Mountaineering — to sit the season out on safety and logistics grounds, while some Nepali operators chose to run smaller trips anyway. Beyond the war, Adrian frames Pakistan as roughly 20 years behind Nepal on tourism infrastructure: more avalanche exposure on routes like Broad Peak, and far less-developed logistics, hygiene, and food quality at base camp. He argues that gap will close, and that the Baltoro trek and Pakistan's climbing and skiing terrain — bigger, steeper, and less crowded than Nepal's — are worth experiencing before it does.Andrzej Bargiel's Continuous Ski Descent of Nanga Parbat Andrzej Bargiel completed the first continuous ski descent of Nanga Parbat, skiing from summit to snowline without a break — distinct from the mountain's first-ever ski descent (Hans Kammerlander, 1990s) and last year's Rupal Face descent, both of which included overnight stops partway down. Bargiel used drone-guided route-finding to link a new line through the Diamir Face's serac zones, avoiding a rocky section that has forced other skiers to remove their skis. The descent makes Nanga Parbat his eighth of fourteen 8,000-meter peaks skied without supplemental oxygen, putting him on pace toward being the first to ski all fourteen in that style.Remembering Guillaume "Gee" Pierrel A brief check-in following the loss of ski mountaineer Gee Pierrel on K6 a couple episodes back — his teammates are down safely, though no further details on the incident have been released.More From the Karakoram Playground A team of Italian climbers put up a new 30-plus-pitch mixed route on K7 without summiting, which Sam and Adrian frame as a legitimate new-route achievement independent of a summit push. More broadly, they note this year's smaller, less commercial Pakistan season is producing an outsized share of no-oxygen and new-route climbing — with K2's fixed ropes up to Camp 2, and Broad Peak and the Gasherbrums positioning for summit pushes as climbers stack peaks ahead of K2's mid-to-late July window.Follow along on Instagram @duffelshufflepodcast and visit www.duffelshufflepodcast.com to join our mailing list.The Duffel Shuffle Podcast is supported by Alpenglow Expeditions, an internationally renowned mountain guide service based in Lake Tahoe, California.

Back in 1986, two Englishmen in their early twenties flew to Delhi with brand new mountain bikes and a paper map, and set off to ride through the Himalaya. James Baile takes us back nearly 40 years to a trip that saw him carrying his bike over three high mountain passes, reaching Kalapattar at 5,545 metres as one of the first cyclists ever to do it, and crossing into India solo after his riding partner's frame gave out.Highlights from the episode:Two 20 year olds, no maps of their own making, no local language, and a bike that had barely existed as a category three years earlierTwo weeks of carrying rather than riding, before the terrain eased into Namche BazaarReaching Kalapattar at 5,545 metres, among the earliest cyclists to have done itThe transition from cycling with a friend to riding solo across northern IndiaThe hospitality of strangers shown throughout the journeyFive days in McLeodganj giving Tibetan kids bike rides outside the Green HotelFollow along with James' future adventures via his instagram - @JamesB.AdventuresThis episode originally first aired on Feb 01 2025.

Los valles del Himalaya concentran la mayor biodiversidad de toda esa región montañosa. No son las cumbres las que sostienen la vida; son las hondonadas donde el agua se acumula, donde el suelo es más fértil y los ecosistemas prosperan. Lo más visible está en las alturas, pero la vida se sostiene en los valles. El Salmo 23 no promete evitar el valle de sombra de muerte; promete compañía al atravesarlo. La presencia de Dios no está condicionada a los momentos de claridad espiritual. Está especialmente activa en los valles: en el duelo, en la crisis, en la espera que no termina. El pastor no rodea al rebaño por el valle; lo acompaña a través de él. Por lo tanto, en el valle más oscuro, no estás solo. Hay un pastor que conoce ese camino. La Biblia dice en Salmos 23:4: "Aunque ande en valle de sombra de muerte, no temeré mal alguno, porque tú estarás conmigo; tu vara y tu cayado me infundirán aliento". (RV1960).
Today's guest is, quite simply, one of the great travellers of our time. Sir Michael Palin first joined me on The Travel Diaries back in 2020, and that episode went on to become one of our most loved and most listened-to conversations ever. So when the opportunity came up for him to return to the podcast, this time to mark the publication of his new book, In Nigeria, I absolutely leapt at the chance.For anyone listening who might not be fully familiar with Sir Michael Palin's extraordinary career, he first became known as one of the members of Monty Python, before going on to become one of the world's most beloved travel broadcasters and writers. His landmark BBC travel series, from Around the World in 80 Days to Pole to Pole, Full Circle, Himalaya and so many more, completely changed the way travel was brought to our screens.I went to Michael's house in London to film the interview and you'll be able to watch the full conversation on YouTube and Spotify this weekend.On today's episode, we talk about some of the extraordinary journeys he's been on since we last spoke, from Nigeria to Iraq, Venezuela and the Philippines. We talk about the places that surprised him, the countries that defied their reputation, the journeys that have stayed with him, and the places he still dreams of visiting. And, because Michael has already shared his original seven travel chapters with us, this time I asked you to send in some brand new travel chapters for him. So listen out, because one of your questions might just be in there.Holly's stay:Palazzo Fiuggi, Italy Destination Recap:VenezuelaPhilippinesNigeria, NigeriaLagos, NigeriaKano, NigeriaPort Harcourt, NigeriaIraq, IraqBabylon, IraqCuzco, PeruMachu Picchu, PeruIguazu Falls, Argentina/BrazilVictoria Falls, Zambia/ZimbabweRussia, RussiaMürren, SwitzerlandKamchatka, RussiaBhutanNepalThe Dolomites, ItalyArmenia, ArmeniaGeorgia, GeorgiaMount Ararat, Turkey/ArmeniaMichael's new book, In Nigeria, is out now.With thanks to Sani for their support of today's episode.

Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” He asked them, “What things?” They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.” Then he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures. As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!” Then they told what had happened on the road and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. Luke 24:13-35 NRSVUE INTRODUKSYON Tayo ngayon ay nasa ikatlong bahagi ng ating serye. Pangatlong beses na rin nating binabasa at naririnig ang Gospel mula kay Luke, ang kwento ng paglalakbay patungong Emmaus. At gusto ko kayong tanungin: Ano ang naging impact ng marinig ito sa pangatlong pagkakataon? May nabago ba sa mensahe? Meron ba kayong bagong napulot mula sa kwento na hindi pa natin napag-uusapan sa nakaraang dalawang linggo? Ang tema natin sa araw na ito ay “Christ in Our Meals”—si Kristo sa ating mga hapag. PAGBABALIK-TANAW SA PARTS 1 & 2 Pero bago ang lahat, magbalik-tanaw muna tayo sa nakaraang dalawang linggo. Sinamahan natin sina Cleopas at ang kanyang mga kasama sa kanilang paglalakbay, at sa prosesyong iyon, tila tayo rin ay naglakbay kasama nila. Sa Part 1, napag-usapan natin ang kahalagahan ng pagiging present sa ating journey. Madalas sa bigat ng ating dinadala—mga responsibilidad, problema, at mga bagay na hindi natin kontrolado—nakakalimutan nating huminto at namnamin ang kasalukuyan. Tulad ng dalawang disciples, hindi nila napansin na si Jesus ay kasama nila sa daan all along sa kanilang journey. We learned that Emmaus is not just a place; it is a state of being. A moment where our disappointment meets God’s divine presence. At kahit tayo ay tila naglalakad palayo sa pag-asa, si Kristo ay lumalapit sa atin, sinasamahan tayo sa bawat hakbang. Napag-usapan din natin ang involvement ng kababaihan sa journey ng historical Jesus—mula sa pagpondo ng mga ministry ni Jesus, sa kanyang crucifixion, hanggang sa pagkabuhay niyang muli, at sa pagbabahagi ng unang Gospel. Women were always there. Sa ikalawang bahagi naman, nakita natin na si Hesus ay hindi lamang kasama sa ating paglalakbay kundi pati sa ating pakikipamuhay sa kapwa. Through conversations with others, with our community, and even with ourselves, we encounter Christ. I also shared about the importance of clarity through inner work gamit ang M.I.C.K.: Motivate, Inspire, Cheer, Be kind. Mula sa book ni Coach Pia Acevedo na “Focus on What Matters”, we learned that if we don’t do inner work, we don’t just suffer alone; the people we love also encounter a compromised version of us. Napag-usapan natin ang struggle ng pagiging [LGBTQ+]—[LGBTQ+] na nga, breadwinner pa! At kung bakit tila napakahirap para sa ating mga Pilipino ang mag-set ng boundaries sa ating mga mahal sa buhay. Hindi lang ito struggle ng [LGBTQ+] people kundi pati na rin sa ating straight allies. Ang pagsabayin ang pagiging anak, magulang, breadwinner, at tagapagtaguyod ng pamilya sa mga ganitong pagsubok. Mahalaga ang maayos na pag-uusap at pag-engage sa conversations that are uncomfortable but necessary. PART 3: CHRIST IN OUR MEALS Para naman sa ating ikatlong bahagi, ang ating tema ay “Christ in Our Meals.” Alam natin kung gaano kahalaga ang pagkain sa ating buhay upang tayo ay magkaroon ng lakas, makakilos, at makapagpatuloy sa ating journey. Gayun din kahalaga ang presensya ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Kristo. Ang pagkain ay esensyal upang tayo ay mabuhay. At kung babalikan natin ang naging paglalakbay ni Kristo kasama ang mga unang Kristiyano, malaking bahagi ng ministry ni Jesus ang umikot sa pagkain. Oh ‘di ba? Unlimited food! Sa ating Gospel nga, nakita natin na matapos silang magbahagi ng tinapay, doon lamang nila naunawaan na si Hesus pala ang kasama nila. Ito rin ang iniwan sa atin ni Kristo: “Sa tuwing pagsasaluhan ninyo ang tinapay at inumin, ako ay inyong alalahanin.” Bukod sa isang paalala, ito rin ay isang covenant, isang pangako na si Kristo ay kasama natin. Christ is revealed when the bread is broken. Isa sa pinakasikat na miracle ni Jesus ay ang pagpapakain niya sa 5,000 katao, at ang kwentong ito ay makikita sa apat na Gospels. Meron ding kwento sa John 21:9-14, kung saan matapos mangisda si Peter at ang kanyang mga kasama, niyaya sila ni Hesus, “Come and have breakfast.” Sa mga oras na iyon, wala ni isa sa kanila ang nagtanong kung sino siya dahil alam nilang iyon ay si Kristo. Inabutan niya sila ng tinapay at isda. Ito ang ikatlong pagkakataon na nagpakita si Hesus sa mga disciples matapos siyang mabuhay muli. Meron din sa Luke 5:29-32 kung saan si Hesus ay kumakain sa bahay ni Levi kasama ang ibang tax collectors. Dito, tinanong siya ng mga Pharisees at scribes, “Why do you eat with tax collectors and sinners?” Isang account kung saan pinili ni Kristo na makisalo at makisalamuha sa mga taong itinuturing na “unclean” at immoral noong panahon na iyon. Let us also remember the best meal chika na matatagpuan din sa Luke 14:15-21, kung saan si Jesus ay inimbita sa isang banquet during Sabbath. Before this, he healed a man with dropsy, and he also challenged the religious leaders. Then someone said, “Blessed is anyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.” Then Jesus replied with the Parable of the Great Dinner. A man prepares a great banquet and invites many guests. At nang handa na, inutusan niya ang kanyang servant para papuntahin na ang mga ito. Ngunit wala ni isa sa kanila ang dumalo. At ang excuse? Sila ay busy bumili ng lupa, ng oxen, at ‘yung isa naman ay just got married. Umay, ‘no? So nagalit ngayon ‘yung host and told the servant to invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind instead of the wealthy friends who can repay them. Then the parable ends with a warning: “None of those invited will taste my dinner.” Sa Jewish culture, very symbolic ang mga banquets at isa itong serious social commitment. Kaya deeply insulting na after mong mag-accept, biglang hindi ka pupunta. Ang parable na ito ay ginamit ni Jesus to speak about God’s invitation to the Kingdom, tungkol sa radical na hospitality at inclusion. Malaking bahagi rin ng pagkain sa ating buhay. I mean, hello, not to state the obvious, isa sa aking love languages ay ang pagluto at paghain ng masarap na pagkain para sa aking mga mahal sa buhay. I also hold it as my personal advocacy ang magbahagi ng pagkain sa mga homeless whenever I am able. Para sa akin, ito ang pinakamadaling paraan upang iparamdam ang presence ni Kristong buhay, dahil ito rin ang mas kailangan nila sa mga sandaling iyon. Habang patuloy tayong lumalaban para sa mundo kung saan ang lahat ay binibigyan ng sapat sa araw-araw, ang mga kwentong ito ang nagpapaalala sa atin na Christ is present in our journey, in our conversations, and in our meals. PAKIKIBAKA AT HUSTISYA Siyang tunay, hindi ba? Ang mga kwentong ito ang ating realization sa pagbasa ng ating Gospel ngayon. Nakaraang dalawang linggo, ang kwento ng journey to Emmaus ay tila buod, isang summary at pagpapatotoo sa presensya ni Kristo sa ating buhay—ang kanyang presence with us by default. A presence that is ever inclusive, mapangyakap, at welcoming, tulad ng isang open table o bukas na hapag, regardless of our sexual orientation, gender identity, race, o katayuan sa buhay. Si Kristo ay kasama natin every step of the way. Hindi lamang sa mga panahon ng festive at masaya, kundi lalo’t higit sa mga panahon ng kalungkutan, galit, at pagluluksa. Si Kristo ay kasama natin tuwing tayo ay nakikisangkot at nakikibahagi sa taunang Pride March, at sa iba pang pagkilos laban sa korupsyon at pang-aabuso; sa ating pakikiisa sa manggagawang Pilipino sa panawagan para sa nakabubuhay na sahod; sa pakikibaka ng mga tsuper na Pilipino sa gitna ng oil crisis; at sa ating panawagan para sa pagtigil ng walang kabuluhang digmaan at karahasan. Patuloy tayong nananawagan ng hustisya para kay Alicia Alano at sa iba pang nasawi noong April 19, 2026, sa isang engkwentro sa Barangay Salamanca, Toboso, Negros Occidental. Si Alicia ay isang estudyante at student leader mula sa University of the Philippines Diliman, at nasa Negros noon para sa community immersion at pananaliksik tungkol sa kalagayan ng mga magsasaka, kabilang ang mga alegasyon ng land grabbing at militarisasyon sa lugar. Imagine being killed in a supposed “legitimate encounter” against alleged members of the NPA. Ito ba ang kinabukasang nais nating ipamana sa ating mga kabataan? Isang mundong sapat na ang “umano” at hinihinala upang kumitil ng buhay ng mga pag-asa ng bayan? Kaya kailangan nating makisangkot at makibahagi sa difficult conversations upang labanan ang ganitong klaseng kaisipan at kultura ng karahasan. Patuloy nating bitbitin ang kwento ni Alicia, kasama ang iba pang naging biktima ng karahasan at ng war on drugs ng nakaraang administrasyon. At sa mga ganitong panahon, dalangin natin na patuloy na yakapin ni Kristo ang pamilya at mga mahal sa buhay ni Alicia at iba pang biktima sa panahon ng kanilang pagluluksa. Nawa’y puspusin sila ng pag-ibig, yakap, at paghilom ng Diyos habang patuloy tayong nakikibaka para sa hustisya—because God’s love must always be tied to justice. INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY & SAINTS OF THE CHURCH I cap this preaching series na may bitbit na mga bagong kwento mula dito sa Taipei, Taiwan, kasama ang ilang sa ating mga members at music team leaders sa event na International [LGBTQ+] Alliance Christian Church. This event is also a popular culmination of what we learned sa Walk to Emmaus. Narinig natin ang journey ng ating Asian neighbors and their stories of struggles of being [LGBTQ+] Christians. Now they went through the same but different situations, just like the two disciples. Hindi nalalayo ang kwento natin as Open Table sa mga struggles ng ating [LGBTQ+] Christian siblings. Ang struggles nila sa mainland China, Korea, maging dito sa Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong at iba pa, Christians are considered a minority. The Philippines may have the highest percentage of Christians, but we are also a minority within the wider church. We are here to tell our stories, to share a meal with each other, and be a holy conversation with a wider community. (Pasensya na po habang ano, kasama ‘yung sipon sa pagtanda…) To be with the wider community, to be in communion with each other, to be each other’s hope, knowing that even a small light in a great darkness is still light. I got this directly from a pastor from Japan kung saan she was asked just to remain silent and not embrace being [LGBTQ+] and Christian. Sa kwento ng isa nating church sa Singapore, they could not hold a Pride protest. And I will always remember the story of Pride from Bora, Korea. Isang straight sweet ally na literal na inalay ang kanyang buhay to fight along with her [LGBTQ+] siblings in Korea, even facing persecution from conservative churches and the government. I am truly blessed and honored to have met her here during Amplify 2018, and was saddened to hear about her passing a few years ago. Ngunit ang kanyang kwento at ang kanyang buhay ay hindi naiuwi lang sa wala. Ito ngayon ang pinanghahawakan nila upang magpatuloy. Let’s always remember our Christian faith is much about remembering as it is remaining hopeful. At nawa ay patuloy nating alalahanin ang ating mga [LGBTQ+] saints: si Father Richard M. at ang kanyang passion; si Pastor Egay at ang kanyang gentleness at compassion; si Ninong Mike sa kanyang ever-welcoming spirit; at si Maxi Choy sa kanyang tapang at adbokasiya laban sa stigma and awareness about HIV and AIDS. I also remember Himalaya, and my promise to always guide our younger generations of [LGBTQ+] Christians. KONGKLUSYON Mga kapatid, sa pagtatapos ng ating series, ito marahil ang pinakamahalagang paalala ng Emmaus story : Na kailanman ay hindi mawawala si Kristo sa ating buhay. Naroon siya sa ating paglalakbay, pag tayo ay pagod na. Sa ating pag-uusap, when we comfort each other kapag tayo ay sugatan, nalilito, o naghahanap ng sagot. At naroon siya sa ating mga hapag—sa bawat paghahati ng tinapay, sa bawat salo-salo, at sa bawat pagkakataon na tayo ay nagbabahaginan ng buhay, pagmamahal, at pakikibaka. Dahil ang tunay na komunyon ay hindi lamang tungkol sa tinapay at alak; ito rin ay pagkilala niya sa atin, sa uring manggagawa, sa [LGBTQ+] community, sa kabataang lumalaban, at sa ating mga straight allies who journey with us. At nawa’y manatiling nag-aalab ang ating mga puso sapagkat si Kristo ay buhay. Kasama natin sa daan, kasama natin sa hapag, at kasama natin sa paglaban. Amen.

With the 2026 Everest season now firmly underway and the icefall finally open, Sam and Adrian are back for their second installment of armchair mountaineering coverage. Sam opens with a somber news section, paying tribute to two losses that hit close to home in the outdoor community: Bernie Rosow of Mammoth and Will Stanhope of BC, killed in separate incidents within days of each other. Adrian knew both casually, and reflects on what made each of them so magnetic — Bernie grinding away as a snow cat driver while somehow getting out more than anyone on the east side of the Sierra, and Will quietly pushing the cutting edge of hard trad lines in Squamish and around the world for decades. Adrian also brings a lighter story out of the Himalaya: a Russian and Ukrainian climber who headed to Manaslu in the spring off-season, found the mountain entirely to themselves, and hung it way out there in proper old-school style — a good reminder that the vast majority of the world's mountains can still deliver wild experiences. From there, Sam and Adrian dig into the following topics from the 2026 Everest season:- The Icefall Opens: The threatening serac that delayed the season has partially fallen, a route has been threaded, and teams are moving — but the season is now running in the most compressed window of the modern era, with record permit numbers and a shortened timeline creating real human factors pressure.- Drones on Everest: Last season's successful drone trials have hit a regulatory pause, and Adrian unpacks why that's both completely predictable and genuinely frustrating — and why getting drones properly established on the mountain may be the single most important step toward making the south side safe enough for Alpenglow to return.- Topo's First Impressions and Season Conditions: Alpenglow guide Topo Mena has made his first carry to Camp Two on the south side with early reports positive. Adrian also notes the mountain is running unusually dry this season, which exposes hard ice on the Lhotse Face and adds challenge for everyone — including speed climbers Tyler Andrews and Karl Egloff, who are on the mountain chasing records.- Listener Question — Does the Round Trip Count?: A listener asks the guys to weigh in on whether a summit counts if you don't make it back under your own power. Sam and Adrian don't hold back.Follow our podcast on Instagram @duffelshufflepodcast where you can learn more about us and our guests.

La búsqueda de Shangri-La nos lleva en un viaje emocionante a través de la India, Nepal y el Tíbet. El cuento del valle mágico oculto de Shangri-La se popularizó en la década de 1930 por James Hilton en su novela Horizontes perdidos. Pero, la historia de un reino perdido detrás de la cordillera del Himalaya libre de la guerra y el sufrimiento es descendiente de un mito indio mucho más antigua. Los primeros europeos escucharon de este mito a comienzos del siglo XVI. Para encontrar la verdad detrás de la leyenda, Michael sigue su pista a pie a través de las tierras maoístas de Nepal occidental y luego al Tíbet. En el camino se visita el Monte Kailash, un centro sagrado del mundo para todos los hindúes y budistas. Finalmente, después de cientos de kilómetros en caminos de tierra, llega a las fantásticas ruinas de la ciudad perdida de Tsaparang, lo que sugiere que es esta la verdadera inspiración detrás del mito.
People, plants and animals all depend on the natural night – both its darkness and its starlight – for everything from regulating our sleep cycles to providing the inspiration for myths and legends. But darkness is disappearing, and with it, our view of the stars. The constant glow of streetlights, of headlights streaming down highways, and wasteful glare from skyscrapers left shining all night have created so much light pollution that the majority of Americans can no longer see the Milky Way or experience the restful embrace of a natural night. As the dark becomes ever more elusive, it is a critical moment to stop, look up, and consider what we lose with the disappearing stars. In NIGHTFARING, journalist and dark sky advocate Megan Eaves-Egenes travels around the world to better understand our deep connection to the dark. From New Zealand to Uzbekistan, Italy to Japan, Germany to the Himalaya, she explores the many ways humans have depended on, feared, and mythologized darkness. Blending travel and nature writing with history and self-discovery, Megan writes of how the stars have helped her chart the course of her own life – just as they've guided humankind for as long as we've slept beneath them. Join us for a peculiar night of live chat with Megan about the disappearing dark.Episode was recorded live April 23, 2026.Website: https://peculiarbookclub.com/Newsletter: https://subscribepage.io/schillacenewsVIP Membership: https://payhip.com/PeculiarBookClubYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streamsBluesky: @peculiarbookclub.bsky.socialFacebook: facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclubInstagram: @thepeculiarbookclub

Lukas Wörle hat einen Traum: Einen Achttausender ohne künstlichen Sauerstoff und ohne die Unterstützung eines Höhenträgers zu besteigen und dann vom Gipfel mit dem Gleitschirm ins Tal zu fliegen. Mit diesem Traum bricht er zum Broad Peak auf, dem Nachbarberg des berüchtigten K2. Doch kurz vor dem Gipfel, auf über 8000 Metern Höhe, stößt er auf einen verunglückten pakistanischen Höhenträger, der von seiner eigenen Expedition im Stich gelassen wurde. Ohne zu zögern, gibt Lukas sein eigenes Ziel auf und versucht, den Verunglückten zurück ins Lager zu bringen ... In dieser Folge erzählt der Tiroler Alpinist von der wohl bewegendsten Begegnung, die er in den Bergen je hatte. Er spricht über Verantwortung, Himalaya-Dias seines Vaters und die erste große Sportliebe seines Lebens: Basketball. Lukas Wörle hat definitiv etwas zu sagen.

Inscrit au patrimoine culturel immatériel de l'humanité par l'UNESCO en 2019, l'alpinisme est bien plus qu'un simple sport de montagne: il incarne un savoir-faire vivant, une culture de l'effort, du risque maîtrisé, de la solidarité et du rapport respectueux à l'environnement alpin. Il s'est forgé dans une tradition de transmission orale et technique, profondément liée aux territoires de haute montagne. Pourtant, cette pratique séculaire fait aujourd'hui face à de profondes mutations. La surfréquentation des sommets emblématiques, le tourisme de la performance et la mode des ascensions spectaculaires banalisent cette activité exigeante. De plus, le changement climatique rend la montagne de plus en plus instable, accélère la fonte des glaciers, déstabilise les parois et multiplie les risques — même pour les alpinistes les plus aguerris. L'été 2025, particulièrement meurtrier dans les montagnes, est le reflet de ces tensions et des enjeux à venir.

La masacre del Día de San Valentín El 14 de febrero de 1929, uno de los crímenes más impactantes del hampa sacudió Chicago: la Masacre del Día de San Valentín. Aunque los años 20 y 30 estuvieron plagados de ajustes de cuentas, este caso destacó por su brutalidad y por lo difícil que fue resolverlo. ¿Quién la perpetró? ¿Y por qué?. ¿Qué es el Yeti? Durante milenios se han registrado avistamientos del Yeti en el Himalaya. ¿Podría esta criatura de dos metros, cubierta de pelo gris, estar oculta a simple vista? Y si existe, ¿es un ser vivo o algo totalmente distinto?
Ageless Athlete - Fireside Chats with Adventure Sports Icons
What happens when the thing that defines you is suddenly taken away?For legendary American alpinist Jack Tackle, climbing wasn't just a sport — it was identity.For more than five decades, Jack has explored remote mountains across Alaska, the Himalaya, and the Karakoram. He spent decades guiding in the Tetons and helping shape an era of bold American alpinism built on patience, partnership, and resilience.But in the year 2001, everything changed.Jack was struck by Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the nervous system. Within days he lost the ability to walk and spent 53 days in the hospital, much of that time in intensive care. Doctors later told him that if treatment had come even a day later, he likely would not have survived.For many climbers, that moment would have marked the end.Nine months later, Jack guided a client across the Grand Traverse in the Tetons — one of the most demanding ridge climbs in the United States.Now in his seventies, Jack is still climbing and still reflecting on the deeper question that many athletes eventually face:What happens when your body changes… but the thing that defines you is still calling?In this conversation, Jack shares lessons from a lifetime in the mountains — about resilience, identity, consistency, and the quiet discipline required to keep showing up decade after decade.This episode isn't just about climbing.It's about the deeper human question of what we fight to keep in our lives — and why it matters.---

Which is more dangerous — the most extreme type of climbing or sailing alone around the world?It's a topic that sparks real debate in this episode. Alpine climbing in the Himalaya. Ice routes where one mistake can be fatal. Free soloing rock faces. Crossing the Southern Ocean alone, where rescue might be days away. Turning off your phone and removing the last layer of backup.But this conversation doesn't stay in the realm of adrenaline.Jerome Rand has sailed solo around the globe — 271 days and nearly 30,000 miles at sea. He's also thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, spending months largely alone, learning what prolonged solitude does to a person.What emerges in this episode isn't a contest of danger.It's a deeper exploration of:How much risk makes something feel like a “true” adventureWhether modern technology strengthens or softens that edgeThe psychology of immersion when there is no easy bailoutWhy the ratio of suffering to joy might be 90/10 — and why that 10% keeps us coming backJerome reflects on identity, mentorship, and the subtle tension of aging as an adventurer — when you begin to sense that the horizon you once chased might not be the only measure of a life well-lived.
