Podcasts about island peak

Joined by Alberto, Emma, Olga and Victoria, this second remote Himalayan podcast is a bunch of skydivers most decidedly not skydiving! Recorded after more than two weeks on the mountain, having attempted scaling the 6,100 meter mountain known as Island Peak, situated a rocks throw from Mount Everest, the team recounts this most amazing adventure over a few drinks in the heart of the climbers and tourists district of Thamel, in Kathmandu. Lunatic Fringe with a twist...

After Mount Kilimanjaro, She got the mountain bug (as they say) and decided to climb Everest Base Camp along with Island Peak in Nepal in 2019. She is a Climber, co founder of Al Hunna and Ghudu.om Listen to the episode and let me know what you think of it. I'd love to hear from you! Please like and share!

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. I reached camp3 (7300m) and we lost 5 friends (also JP Mohr). Ultra Trail Running Races since 2013: 2013 2° place at the Transalpinerun with Annemarie Gross Kanchenjunga Skylie Expedition with Simone Moro (no success) Pik Pobeda, Siberia, with Simone Moro. First Winter ascent.   2014 1° place at the Transalpinerun with Annemarie Gross 2015 1° place at the Südtirol Ultrarace (team) Special Project
 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?”    

A good night's rest can make your trek so getting the right sleeping bag for the trip is essential. We'll go through the ins and outs of sleeping bags to help you get the right one for your next adventure and prove that you don't need to live in a palace to get a good night's sleep.   Don't miss bags of fun   Some questions that have come up in the Facebook group:   What sleeping bag do I need for Island Peak? Shall I get a down or synthetic sleeping bag? What trips and what temperatures need what bag?   So come and join me and Dave as we discuss this and much much more on what's going to be a great show.

Peter Docker is the co-author of the book, Find Your Why, and formerly a founding Igniter at Simon Sinek Inc. He draws on his 25-year career in the Royal Air Force, and over 14 years spent partnering with businesses around the world to inspire them to lead. Peter teaches people how to navigate the challenge of leadership. His latest book, Leading from the Jumpseat, delivers the message that leadership is about lifting people up, and giving them the space they need to lead!   Key Takeaways [2:15] Peter reveals an interesting fact about him when he was at the age of 42. [3:35] Peter tells the story behind the Jumpseat Leader when he was still flying with the Royal Air Force. [7:34] As a leader, handing over control is inevitable at some stage. Leading from the jumpseat is a mindset and approach which helps us to lead intentionally in that perspective. [10:20] Peter talks about the four parts of his book through metaphors of flying: Learning To Fly, Flying, Teaching Others To Fly, and Leading From The Jumpseat. [11:30] These stages are not meant to be a single progression. We can be at different stages in different aspects of our life. [15:25] It takes a lot of time to teach and develop people. Peter shares more analogies on how leaders can better manage in order to delegate. [16:25] Delegation is not abdication of responsibility. It only frees up space for leaders to focus on most things that only they have authority over. [17:30] In the short term, the pace will be slow but in the long term, delegating will allow your team to accelerate much more quickly. [22:20] Peter also shares his insights on how to teach followership as a leader. [23:15] Individualism and teamwork are not mutually exclusive. Peter explains why he thinks so. [28:40] As leaders, we can create opportunities for people to have a choice which is very important for their engagement. [29:50] Context vs. content. Peter tells a story about a young woman named Louise who challenged herself to climb the Island Peak of Nepal to illustrate why context is vital. [34:50] Learning and being kind to ourselves is very important in leadership. The willingness to get up every morning to do a little bit better goes a long way. [36:45] Exploring what is really important to us releases enormous energy once we are able to connect to it. Peter tells another story with his wife being involved in an accident as an example. [42:20] The promise we make to ourselves is actually about other people. Peter explains why it is so. [43:26] Peter shares his experience in the Iraq war back in 2003 to give more context in regards to the promise we keep for ourselves towards others. [45:00] Making a promise to yourself is more powerful when it is in service to others. [47:25] Listener challenge: Learn to lead when you don't know the answer.   Quotable Quotes “We all eventually give out control. And it's about preparing our people so they can take the lead when the time is right.” “We're right back down at the bottom again, trying to figure out how to fly. But that's the wonderful thing about it because it gives us the opportunity to maintain our humility to continue to learn and embrace the unknown.” “Delegation is not abdication and also it is not an excuse for micromanagement.” “We want to be involved in things; it's nice to be able to handle stuff and get stuff done. But every time we take on more things, the slower our team's progress becomes.” “If we are always the guy who has the answer, we become the constriction in the pipe.” “As a leader, what we can do is to shift the context so that people see what they are struggling against and see it instead as an opportunity to be taken on. And that then gives them the chance to really push themselves.”   Resources Mentioned Sponsored by: Darley.com Leadingfromthejumpseat.com Peter on Linkedin Peter on Twitter Peter on Instagram Grab Peter's books, Leading From The Jumpseat: How to Create Extraordinary Opportunities by Handing Over Control and Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team  

“Mucho más que una disciplina para el cuerpo, el alpinismo es un lujo para el espíritu y un recurso para el alma”.3 Una frase de Georges Sonnier con la que Marta Alejandre define su pasión por las montañas. Sus primeros pasos nos llevan al Valle de Pineta, donde veraneaba todos los años con sus padres en el campamento de la Asociación de Vecinos del Picarral de Zaragoza. Ya más mayorcica, esta zaragozana, formó parte del equipo de jóvenes alpinistas de la Federación Aragonesa de Montañismo y aunque deportivamente practicaba alpinismo ya a un nivel alto, el inicio de su dedicación a la montaña de forma profesional surgió mientras estudiaba la carrera. Marta es licenciada en Ciencias Geológicas y técnico deportivo de media montaña, barrancos y esquí alpino. Es miembro de la Asociación Española de Guías de Montaña y la Asociación Internacional de Guías Acompañantes. Como alpinista destaca por ser la primera aragonesa en alcanzar la cima de uno de los catorce ochomiles del planeta al coronar la cima nepalí del Dhaulagiri. Aconcagua, Island Peak o el Tilicho Peak son otros grandes que cuenta en su haber. ¡Importante!

I caught up with British climber, Rebecca 'Becks' Ferry to discuss her amazing 2021 where she climbed on six 8000-meter mountains. This British mother of five children ages 12 to 18, had limited high altitude experience before with summits of Island Peak and Ama Dablam, but deep inside she wanted to try the hard ones. Along with British Professional Mountain Guide, Jon Gupta, they started with Everest and Lhotse as a "warm-up' for K2 but overall climbed on six peaks reaching the main summits of three. Everest (Summit) at 19:50 Lhotse (Summit) at 22:00 Makalu (reached 7500m) K2 (Summit) at 25:05 Manaslu (Fore Summit ~8160m) at 40:00 Dhaulagiri (reached 7817m) at 36.09 We cover a range of topics from how she got into climbing, to all the climbs in this fast-paced interview. I think you'll enjoy meeting Becks, hearing about her family and why she climbs and, of course, what's next! Climb On! Alan Memories are Everything

Jill Wheatley has a complex story - her life turned upside down in a moment and her journey to recovery and into thriving is circuitous. This discussion takes place with Jill in Kathmandu and Matt in Washington state - next month they finish the conversation in Nepal at Manaslu basecamp - a mountain they are each climbing for their own very personal reasons.  This is part one of that conversation. While working as a teacher in Bavaria, an accident on a sports' field changed Jill's life in a fraction of a second.   A medical team, hundreds of hands from 7 hospitals across 3 countries, guided Jill through a seemingly impossible climb, traumatic brain injury (TBI). Now traversing  an avalanche triggered by the TBI, which left her days from death, with 70% vision loss and a life threatening eating disorder, Jill chose to adventure in massifs around the world to celebrate the life she nearly lost. Mountains have housed a transformation from losing sight to gaining vision. Jill has run, climbed  and skied her way around the world embracing the eyesight she still has. Her trails have connected with the Andorra Pyrenees, Italian Dolomites, French and Swiss Alps, Slovenia's Julian Alps, Iceland, India and Nepal Himalaya, New Zealand, Argentina, Peru, and the American Rockies. Following Himalayan expeditions on Island Peak, Lobuche East, Mera Peak  and summiting the iconic Ama Dablam (6 812 m), along with ice climbing and skiing in the Annapurnas, Jill is currently training to climb Manaslu (8 163 m), the world's 8th highest peak.  You can follow Jill's adventurers at: Mountains of my Mind   Instagram Twitter You Tube Facebook Linked In   Photo credit: Vinayak Jaya Malla

Jeannette is the 1st South African woman to summit Manaslu, the 8th highest mountain in the world. She is also the first South African to ever attempt Dhaulagiri, 7th highest mountain.  She is passionate about leading individuals and teams to achieve things they never thought possible. She consistently achieves this with enthusiasm and empathy.    Jeannette balances a corporate career leading the mining services business for a blue-chip Australian company with her mountaineering pedigree and passion.   Jeannette is a Non-Executive Board member and holds a PhD from the Colorado School of Mines.    Jeannette has been chief instructress for Veld and Vlei, now Outward Bound; a guide for the South African National Parks Board; and the first female leader in 20 years for the Mountain Club of South Africa’s winter camp.     8000m mountaineer - with Manaslu summited, and 1 attempt on Dhaulagiri (first South African ever); my mountaineering goal is 7x 8000m summits, my version of the "7 Summits" The challenges and realities of 8000m are extreme and under anticipated. I've grown up in the mountains organically acquiring knowledge over a lifetime (not coming to this via a milestone birthday or event as many others have) But did get to over 100kg and went from a couch back to 8000m - which took 5 years from decision to attempt 1 and eventual summit. I know about goal setting and resilience and how to navigate a career (one of a few women in underground mining production at the start of my career) and a time consuming interest. As the Mountain Mentor I can fast track the learning curve for people, saving time not making mistakes or being the best prepared for a mountain adventure: be it Kili, Inca Trail, Island Peak or Everest   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am UK time - Make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss out.    The tough girl podcast is sponsorship and ad free thanks to the monthly financial support of patrons.

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 !

Pour le tout premier épisode de Feu de Camp, suivez Yves dans son ascension de l'Island Peak, un sommet népalais de plus de 6000m ! Un récit riche en émotion, entre défi technique et découverte d'une autre culture, conté par la voix pleine de sagesse d'Yves. Je vous laisse l'écouter et commenter ! Feu de Camp a sa page Instagram ( feu.de.camp.podcast ) et sa page Facebook ( Feu de Camp Podcast ). Abonnez vous pour ne rien manquer des bonus et être prévenus des sorties des nouveaux épisodes !

Shaun Francis is Chair and CEO of Medcan and he’s author of a recently released book entitled Eat, Move, Think: The Path to a Healthier, Stronger, Happier You.

Medcan is a global leader in assessing their clients’ overall well-being and inspiring them to live well for life. It’s routinely recognized for as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies. Shaun graduated from the United States Naval Academy after he was nominated by President Reagan to attend as a Canadian.

He’s received an honorary doctorate and countless other awards. Shaun co-led an expedition to the summit of Island Peak, adjacent to Mount Everest, with 12 injured Canadian, soldiers raising funds the True Patriot Love Foundation, which Shaun chairs. Stew and Shaun talk about the importance of our physical health for longevity, quality of life, and work performance. They drill down on the best diet (the Mediterranean ) and how it’s a sustainable one, not a fad. They talk about cardio as a way to prolong life and muscle strengthening as a way to improve the quality of one’s life over time. They discuss how the mind, and the way we exercise our choices, is central to prolonged health. They delve into the pernicious impact of the stigma of mental health care. Shaun uses the example of wounded warriors, the most fit among us, succumbing to mental health problems as an illustration how we are all of vulnerable to mental strain. They also talk about the importance of being role models for our children. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
