🌴107. Plot twist: I’m climbing Everest……………................... BC (and beyond)
This episode is a total curveball. A complete pivot from anything I had on my 2025 vision board.
I’m not climbing to the top of Mount Everest, but I am heading to Everest Base Camp... and beyond. I’ve just said yes (terrified, excited, slightly in denial) to climbing Lobuche Peak — a 6,119m Himalayan beast that sits above base camp in Nepal.
This was not on my radar. At all. It came via a text from an old uni friend (and podcast guest), Matt Stewart, who runs a company called Experiences Not Felt Possible. And true to the name, he’s invited me on an experience that feels... well, very not possible. Until now.
In today’s ep, I talk through:
- Why I said yes before fully understanding what I said yes to ðŸ«
- The real fears I have (spoiler: they include bathrooms, fixed ropes, and altitude)
- How I plan to train over the next 6 months as a total hiking newbie
- What this means for the podcast, and how I want to bring you along for the ride
- And how I’m borrowing belief from Matt (because sometimes you need to outsource your confidence)
This is going to test everything: physical grit, mental resilience, and probably my ability to function in a -30°C tent.
🎧 Listen in for the backstory, the wobbly excitement, and why I’ve already started panic-buying outdoor gear.
