Menos de cincuenta alpinistas habían logrado escalar «las siete cumbres», es decir, la cumbre más alta de cada uno de los siete continentes del mundo. Por eso es tan sobresaliente que el primero en lograr esta hazaña fuera el empresario norteamericano Dick Bass, que a los cincuenta y cinco años de vida batió récord también como el hombre de mayor edad que hasta entonces escalara el monte Everest. Llegó a la cumbre de esa montaña, la más alta del mundo, el 30 de abril de 1985. Las siete cumbres, en orden descendente, son la del monte Everest en Asia, de 8.848 metros; la del Aconcagua en Suramérica, de 6.960 metros; la del Denali en Norteamérica, de 6.194 metros; la del Kilimanjaro en África, de 5.895 metros; la del Elbruz en Europa, de 5.642 metros; la del Vinson Massif en la Antártida, de 4.897 metros; y la cumbre del monte Kosciuszko en Australia, de 2.228 metros de altura. Siempre satisface alcanzar cumbres en la vida. ¿Quién no desea alcanzar la suya? A pocos les satisface quedarse en el llano, en el valle, limitándose a contemplar cómo suben los demás mientras ellos se quedan siempre a ras de tierra, hacinados con los fracasados y tragando polvo. Querer escalar y llegar a una alta cima es noble y encomiable deseo. A fin de cuentas, el hombre, creado a la imagen de Dios, es un ser que camina derecho, con los ojos en lo más alto de la cabeza para poder mirar lejos y mirar a lo alto. Lo que nos separa a unos de otros son las cumbres que optamos por escalar. La primera cumbre que escogió Dick Bass fue la de su propio continente, la del Denali, y logró escalarla. Por último, decidió escalar la más alta, la del Everest, y la coronó también. Y consiguió todo eso sin haberse formado como alpinista, sino a base de un empeño constante y una determinación tan inconmovible como las montañas mismas. Hay quienes buscan la cumbre de la riqueza. Otros escogen la cumbre de la ciencia. Otros, con inclinaciones místicas, optan por la cumbre de la religión. Otros aspiran a las cumbres del arte, del deporte o de la política. Para cada uno, la cumbre que escoge tiene un atractivo sin igual. Pero ¿quiénes buscan la cumbre de la santidad? ¡Si hasta parece ridículo hacer esta pregunta en un mundo plagado de materialismo y vanidad! Sin embargo, y aunque no parezca posible, la santidad es la mayor cumbre de todas. Es la cima más excelente, la única que puede llevarnos a nuestra plena realización. De los que han buscado esta cumbre, muchos han fracasado en su empeño por haberse desviado del camino. Esa cumbre de la santidad es Cristo, la santidad personificada. Para llegar a ella, debemos seguir el camino sin desviarnos. Pero a fin de no desviarnos, es imprescindible que la escalemos con la mirada puesta en Cristo.

Ski mountaineer Kit DesLauriers skied off the summit of Mount Everest into history. DesLauriers is the first person to ski from the so-called Seven Summits, the highest peak on every continent. Her 2006 descent of Everest capped a string of firsts: She was the first woman to ski the Vinson Massif, the highest mountain in Antarctica, and Mt. Aspiring in New Zealand. She also made the first female solo ski descent of Grand Teton in Wyoming. A two-time Freeskiing World Tour champion, National Geographic named her an Adventurer of the Year in 2015. DesLauriers was formally inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame this week, following her election in 2019.Kit DesLauriers is the mother of two daughters with her husband, Rob DesLauriers, whose family runs the Bolton Valley ski area in Vermont. She is the author of a memoir, Higher Love: Skiing the Seven Summits, which was reissued last year. She is a member of The North Face global athlete team, the board of the Alaska Wilderness League and the riders team of the climate action group Protect Our Winters. I spoke with her from her home in Jackson, Wyoming.

On the 70th episode of “Great Dane Nation,” Morten is joined by former Saints teammate Mark Pattison, as he talks about his journey of becoming the second NFL player ever to climb the Seven Summits (07:12 – 46:48). But first, he checks in with TommyFreezePops (Tom Carroll) for this week's edition of the “Opening Kick” (01:20 – 06:27). This week, the guys talk about the bizarre situation with Antonio Brown and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What's really happening here?We then move to our interview with Mark Pattison where he discusses a wide range of topics: the difficulty of finding the right thing to channel his competitive energy after his NFL career came to an abrupt end (08:28); his success in business, and why he believes his work at Sports Illustrated will push them past ESPN in digital traffic within the next three years (15:25); how his NFL Films documentary “Searching for the Summit” came about, and how he turned his mountaineering goal into a charitable opportunity (20:27); how he almost died while summiting Denali in Alaska (25:44); a special edition of “The Name Game,” featuring some of the mountains from Mark's Seven Summit journey – Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Elbrus, Mount Kosciuszko, Aconcagua, Denali and the Vinson Massif (26:24); his journey with Mount Everest, and how death was a real possibility on his way down the mountain (34:00); and why Mark is choosing to climb yet another enormous mountain to celebrate his 60th birthday (43:03).Morten spends some time on today's episode honoring the life and legacy of the late Dan Reeves, who we lost on New Year's Day at the age of 77. Morten played for Coach Reeves for four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons (47:01 – 49:38).Then we move to this week's edition of “Morten's Fast 5,” where our Hall of Famer makes picks for the five biggest games of the football weekend (50:52 – 57:43). Morten gives his picks for Chiefs at Broncos (51:40), Cowboys at Eagles (52:56), Chargers at Raiders (54:07), Patriots at Dolphins (55:00) and Saints at Falcons (55:44).Finally, we close things out with “Morten's Game Winner” – a weekly monologue from The Great Dane on his biggest takeaway of the week. This week, Morten talks about Mark Pattison, and why he's the embodiment of a modern-day renaissance man (57:43).
Against all odds -- Meet Danielle Wolfson. 1st Israeli Women to Climb Mt. Everest. In 2011, after a ski accident, Danielle was told she would never walk unassisted. In the hospital she told herself --- "I will show everybody, I will climb Everest." Did you know there is only a 5-day window in the entire year to try to reach the summit? Her Russian upbringing of grit and determination moved Danielle to set a goal of climbing 29,000 to the summit of Mt. Everest. Achieving this goal wasn't easy. She almost died along the way. Danielle saw many bodies of dead climbers on her to the summit. In May 2021, Danielle successfully reached the summit. Just 50 meters from the peak, she stepped over corpses lying frozen in their climbing gear. Her Russian discipline kept Danielle alive. She saw other people give up on Everest along the way but she didn't even consider she had an option to give up. "I needed to finish my mission and I would never stop even if I died on Everest." Danielle shares details of her harrowing journey to the summit and back down to the base camp of Mt. Everest. She wants everyone to go out and find their own version of Everest.

I did it against all the odds. And you can too."Danielle believes: climbing Mount Everest is 80% mental and 20% physical and most people don't have the mental toughness to finish it. Her oxygen was running out, she knew she could rely only on her own wits. “Even if I had offered a million dollars, nobody would have given me oxygen." It's not enough to reach the Summit of Everest. It's not like a marathon or Ironman. You finish when you cross the line. No, you go to the summit, even cannot celebrate because the most dangerous part is going back down to base camp. People died when they are going down. Her next big expedition is in December to Antarctica's Vinson Massif (4,892 meters; 16,050 feet) and then she'll cross the South Pole.Amazing Informative Links:https://www.timesofisrael.com/danielle-wolfson-becomes-1st-israeli-woman-to-reach-mount-everest-summit/https://www.timesofisrael.com/tel-aviv-lawyer-on-everest-hopes-to-become-first-israeli-woman-to-reach-summit/https://www.israel21c.org/how-chutzpah-beat-deathhttps://www.israelhayom.com/2021/05/23/climber-danielle-wolfson-becomes-1st-israeli-woman-to-scale-everest/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcjwaDUn3fghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmrY240YsM4

The first solo circumnavigation of the world by human power by Turkish-American engineer Erden Eruç. In July 2007, Erden set out from Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco, aiming to become the first person to circumnavigate the planet solo, entirely under his own power—no motors, no sails, no means of propulsion other than his own strength. His plan was to travel across three oceans and six continents by boat, bike, and foot, more than 74 000 km or 40,000 miles in all, and climbing six of the seven summits, apart from Vinson Massif in Antarctica. www.meetingexplorers.com
Remote and wild, Antarctica was once solely the domain of hardcore explorers. As the continent becomes more accessible, science and tourism are expanding – but does this come with an environmental cost? Should access to these fragile ecosystems be regulated, and who gets to decide?Professor Steven L Chown FAA FRSsaf is Director of Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future, an Australian Research Council Special Research Initiative and Professor at Monash University. His Antarctic research covers many aspects of biodiversity variation and its conservation. Owing to his interest in the science-policy interface, for many years he represented the international Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), of which he was also President (2016-2021), at the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings, providing scientific advice on a broad range of environmental and science policy matters.Dr Jaimie Cleeland is an early career scientist working on Southern Ocean fisheries at the Australian Antarctic Division. Her research directly contributes to the Commission on the Conservation of Antarctic Living Marine Resources, where she represents Australia as an independent scientific delegate. Providing advice on the impact fishing has on bycatch species such as seabirds and deep-water skates and sharks, and ways that we can better manage fisheries around Antarctica to conserve non-target species.Greg Mortimer OAM is best known as a mountaineer; he was one of the first two Australians to climb Mt Everest (1984) and the first Australian to climb Antarctica's highest peak, Vinson Massif, in 1988. He later co-founded adventure cruise company Aurora Expeditions and has led over 80 expeditions to Antarctica. He trained as a geochemist and geologist has also previously worked for the New Zealand Antarctic Division.They join our host, Professor Alan Duffy of The Royal Institution of Australia to discuss this key issue.

Climber and Motorcycle Adventurer Dave Garces rode his bike from Quito to Aconcagua, climbed it, and rode back. He tells us about that adventure, his quest to do the 7 summits in this style, and his business Ecuador Bike Rentals. Facebook Twitter Instagram The Outdoor Biz Podcast Please give us a rating and review HERE Climber and Motorcycle Adventurer Dave Garces rode his bike from Quito to Aconcagua, climbed it, and rode back. He tells us about that adventure, his quest to do the 7 summits in this style, and his business Ecuador Bike Rentals. Show Notes Introduction to the outdoors Well, my outdoor hobby would be motorcycling. Adventure motorcycling and climbing itself started with my dad. When I was two years old, he basically took me to the highest mountains here in Ecuador, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, over 18,000 feet high. So that's how I started it. Then basically I learned how to ride my first motorcycle when I was 14 and I haven't stopped since. The Seven Summits I used to work in the oil business since 2006, which basically allowed me to travel around the world. I've been in 83 countries so far. Basically, by me working in one of these countries, I just decided to start these seven summits when I first heard of it. So I've climbed Kilimanjaro for Africa. I've climbed the Elbrus for Europe and recently in 2019, I did Aconcagua for South America. I'm missing basically four more summits, Denali for North America. Everest for Asia and the Carstensz Pyramid for Oceania and the Vinson Massif for Antarctica. Riding a Motorcycle to all Seven My plan now is basically to start all over again to make it count and to be honest for one thing. The second thing is I really like to take this opportunity. I mean, I have to ride the world on a motorcycle. So that being said, I have very good chances to accomplish what I'm looking for. The first attempt I had was Aconcagua in December 2019. Which is basically the closest. Still, it was around 13,000 miles back and forth in four weeks. And also included nine days of climbing. Aconcagua It was the beginning of the project. If I couldn't have made it, then that was the end of it. It's not the easiest or the hardest either of all seven, but for one it is the cheapest and the second is the closest. And one thing is physical strength, but the other one is mental strength. It was basically four and a half weeks being by myself, you know, inside of my helmet and then just walking on my own. All of these thoughts, you know, can drive you crazy. Ecuador Bike Rentals I'm working at the company as a chief mechanic and a tour guide. The company is based in Quito. Ecuador. We have another branch on the coast. So what we do basically is motorcycle rentals, guided tours, self-guided tours, and custom-tailored tours. You tell us for instance, what's your budget and how long you have on the time frame. And then we build an adventure for you. We have intercoms connected helmet to helmet. So we basically speak with the whole party telling them what they're seeing. If there is anything going on in front of the road. You know, any advice when it comes to riding itself.

Guest Bio:Jordan Romero is an American mountain climber who, on May 22, 2010, became the youngest person to climb Mount Everest. He was 13 years 10 months 10 days old when he reached the summit. Romero was accompanied by his father Paul Romero, his step-mother Karen Lundgren, and three Sherpas, Ang Pasang Sherpa, Lama Dawa Sherpa, and Lama Karma Sherpa. The previous record for youngest to climb Everest was held by Ming Kipa of Nepal who was 15 years old when she reached the summit in 2003. He was inspired to climb the tallest mountains of each continent when he saw a painting in the hallway of his school that had the seven continents' highest mountains. He climbed the Vinson Massif in December 2011, breaking the record of George Atkinson being the youngest climber in the world to complete the Seven Summits, at the age of 15 years, 5 months, 12 days. It is likely that, barring changes in national policies, Romero's record will remain unbeaten, as Nepal does not issue licences for under-16s to climb Everest, and subsequent to Romero's ascent, China introduced similar restrictions on the Tibetan side.
Mark Pattison is a former wide receiver in the NFL, where he played for the Raiders, Rams and Saints. Since retiring from his football career, Mark has been dedicated to challenging his own limits, and one of his life goals is to become the first NFL player to ever climb the Seven Summits, the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents. To date, he has successfully climbed six of the seven, with the most recent being the Vinson Massif in Antarctica. Mark is also an entrepreneur, motivational speaker and leadership consultant, and he believes passionately in giving others the push they need to exceed their limits, conquer their fears, and find their summits. In addition to his professional work as a motivational speaker, Mark passionately believes in the incredible and transformative power of philanthropic work. That is why he partnered with Chris Long of the Philadelphia Eagles and his foundation, Waterboys.org, to help install life-sustaining water wells throughout Tanzania. What you’ll learn about in this episode: Why Mark’s mantra is “get off the sidelines, get back into the game, and find your next summit” How Mark first got involved in football, and how he turned it into a college scholarship and later a successful career in the NFL How the end of Mark’s NFL career left him at loose ends and led him to ultimately become a successful entrepreneur Why a difficult divorce and a personal loss sparked Mark’s interest in becoming the first NFL player to ever climb the Seven Summits How Mark uses the acronym “S.U.M.M.I.T.” as a guide for turning the spark of ideas into successes How Mark became involved with NFL player Chris Long’s Waterboys foundation, and what the organization does to help impoverished communities access clean water Why Mark’s work with business leaders has led him to recognize that too many leaders and organizations are sitting on the sidelines and playing it safe What important daily habits Mark keeps that have most contributed to his success throughout his career What Mark believes are the most vital and critical skills business leaders need to master to be successful Why it is necessary to put in the time, dedication, effort and hard work to be able to achieve your ultimate goals What important lessons Mark has learned from his own mentors and from other business leaders

George has set two ambitious goals. First, he wants to summit the tallest mountain on each continent. Second, he intends to travel to every country in the world. He has made great progress so far, summiting six of the seven summits and has traveled to 78 UN countries. George has climbed the highest mountain on each continent, except for Mt. Vinson Massif in Antarctica, which is quite remote and expensive to climb. George has showed true grit. His first attempt at summiting Mt. Everest ended in failure, with the peak only being a couple hundred feet away. He was not deterred and the following year he successfully submitted Mt. Everest. This feat was accomplished at great monetary and time expense. George talks about his summit of Mt. Elbrus, which nearly ended in true disaster. George has an unusual list of countries he has traveled to. He has not been to Ireland or Denmark, but he has traveled to Afghanistan, Sudan, Pakistan, and Somalia. Heshares with us why he is not fond of Burundi, and why he believes Torres de Plaines in Chile is a special place. George’s episode marks a milestone for Counting Countries. This is the 50th episode.

Martin Pazzani is a global business decathlete, a serial entrepreneur, and a mountaineer. He is also a strategist, marketer, CEO, company founder, speaker, advertising guy, management consultant, and communications architect. His website tagline perhaps says it best: Always seeking another summit. Corporate achiever Martin has worked on both on the corporate side and on the ad agency side for large corporations and startups across multiple categories and on six continents. Before he began his career in business, he earned three college degrees in just over five years: a B.A. in Psychology, a B.S. in Marketing, and an M.B.A. He is a "classically trained" chief marketing officer (CMO) who cut his teeth in consumer goods and services businesses. Martin's career features some extraordinary highlights: He spent 13 years at Diageo (fka Heublein), where he rose from an entry-level position to the top marking job at 34 years old to grow global brands like Smirnoff Vodka, Jose Cuervo Tequila, Black Velvet Canadian Whisky, and many more. He was the first CMO of Bally and Crunch, where his successful turnaround of a very troubled operation produced record setting increases in revenue, new memberships, consumer awareness, and interest; the magnitude and speed of which led to a Harvard Business Review case study. He spent seven years heading Foote, Cone and Belding agency's global strategic consulting group, The Chess Team: marketing strategists for Kraft, SC Johnson, American Express, Citibank, US Postal Service, Samsung, Tropicana and many others across a 100-office network, with extensive work in Chicago, San Francisco, Hong Kong, London and South America. He served as CEO of bi-coastal Elias Arts (EA), the world's most awarded music agency, where he reunited, transformed and grew a fragmented company against the tide of a declining industry. By pioneering the new discipline of audio brand identity for major clients like American Express, Apple, Audi, Cisco, Citi, Coke, Gatorade, Infiniti, McDonald's, Nike, Yahoo, and by putting the company on a path toward full-service music holding company, EA was able to diversify into Latino music and music licensing and thrive in a very troubled category. Bold new horizons Today, Martin is a serial entrepreneur, immersed in three areas that each requires a balance of entrepreneurship, strategic vision, and a penchant for re-imagining the future. Craft Spirits: In 2009, Martin started a craft spirits company, United Craft Distillers, to provide advisory services, world class marketing, and sales expertise to hyper-growing, micro-distilled, small-batch spirits brands. This has evolved into Master Distillers Inc. which handles sales and marketing for T1 Tequila Uno (named 2016's Best Craft Tequila), Tears of Llorona tequila, Mezcal Sacrificio, Varan Mezcal Coffee Liqueur, and others. Fitness: In 2012, Martin joined forces with investors, fitness operators, and healthcare experts to develop the company that became Act!vate Brain & Body, where they are re-inventing fitness as upstream preventive healthcare for the baby boomer generation. (Act!vate will re-launch in 2017-18 with geographic expansion to follow later in the year.) Vaping: In 2014, Martin began to explore the fast growing vaping sector, which is proving to be a powerful anti-smoking enabler and a disruptor to the status quo. This led to the creation of Cloud 10 Brands and Silver City Vapors, a fast-growing venture to build a national retail and e-commerce vaping company. An oft-published writer and panelist on marketing, branding, competitive strategy, and music, Martin gave a TED University talk at the 2008 TED Conference in Monterrey, CA on The Power of Music. He has led seminars in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, London, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Venezuela, and at the Cannes Lions and Dubai Lynx advertising festivals. His articles have been in Advertising Age, Billboard, Brandweek, Marketing Daily, and SHOOT Magazine. Physical prowess Martin has always been drawn to overcome difficult challenges. He's climbed to the summits of major mountains on all seven continents. He has explored Antarctica, Easter Island, Ngorongoro Crater, the Equatorial Rain-forests, the deserts of United Arab Emirates, Mexican volcanoes. He is a former F2000 racing driver where he developed a keen appreciation for the value of precision, speed and high performance. He is the 146th human being to stand on the summit of the very remote Vinson Massif, the highest point in Antarctica. He has climbed both The Matterhorn and Mont Blanc five times each. Showing no sign of slowing down at 61, Martin is currently on a mission to climb all forty-eight 4000-foot peaks of New Hampshire as he trains to climb Mt. Everest in 2019. Recent medical testing reveals that Martin's lungs are 40% larger than a normal human being’s, which accounts for his being very good at walking uphill for long distances with a heavy pack on his back! After at least 100,000,000 uphill steps, he's been persuaded to turn his transformation from a corporate animal to a serial entrepreneur into a book, The Mountains Made Me An Entrepreneur, on target for publication in early 2018.
Whether you want to climb the corporate ladder or Mount Everest, you'll want to hear this episode. We’re talking with Extreme Himalayan Climber, Al Hancock to find out what leadership and mountain climbing have in common. Al Hancock is a highly inspiring Keynote Speaker. He also happens to be on a mission to climb the world's 14 highest peaks. It’s called the BIG 14 CHALLENGE. With this, Al will become the second person in North America to have ever pushed themselves this hard both physically and mentally. “What makes you unstoppable? It’s called Passion. Follow that.” Several years back, Al climbed North America’s highest peak in Alaska, followed by the highest peaks in Europe and South America. Then, after summiting Mt. Everest in 2007, Al set his sights on scaling the highest mountain on each of the world's 7 continents, known as the “Seven Summits”. After climbing the Vinson Massif in Antactica and Kilimanjaro in Africa, he became one of only 200 people in the World to have accomplished this. But Al was just getting started. After this, he set his sights on the Holy Grail of mountaineering: Climbing the 14 highest mountains on Earth. This is the “BIG 14 CHALLENGE”. Today, Al has climbed 7 of the World’s highest mountains, having just returned from a successful ascent of Lhotse in Nepal, the world’s 4th highest peak. We sat down with this Extreme Mountaineer to find out what Leadership Lessons we can take from the thin air of the Himalayan Mountains to apply to our Boardrooms and Teams. Join us for this 20 minute exploration of leadership and mountaineering, and find out what it’s like to stand on the summit of Mount Everest.

Meet Annie Doyle, a Sydney-based, 56 year old dedicated old mother of two. Working hard as a Chief Financial Officer for a large disability organisation she somehow finds the time to also be a mountaineering machine who is on a mission to become the first Maori woman to climb the Seven Summits (The highest mountain on every continent and well regarded of as the Holy Grail of mountaineering) She’s 6/7ths of the way there. Her transcontinental summit quest started when she reached the top of our very own Mt. Kosciuszko in 2005 and then Tanzania’s Mt. Kilimanjaro the same year, followed by Mt. Elbrus in Russia in 2006, Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina in 2007 and both Mt. McKinley in Alaska in 2009and Vinson Massif in Antarctica in 2013. Only Everest awaits her. Unfortunately luck hasn’t been on her side…yet. In 2012 she positioned for her first attempt but bad weather made the Khumbu Icefall too dangerous, again she made another attempt in 2014 but the mountain closed following a tragic icefall avalanche that killed 16 Sherpas. In April this year, she was readying for her 3rd attempt, this time from the Tibetan side, but the sheer devastation of the catastrophic Nepalese Earthquake once again closed the mountain and rocked the climbing community to its core with the loss of so many lives. Annie’s 7th summit awaits another season.
