How I went from broke to climbing the 7 Summits - Documentary

At the start of 2024 I began the most terrifying adventure - following my dream.
I set out to become the first person that climbs the 7 Summits, each continent's highest mountain, from sea level, and back to sea level. Climbing every single meter, up and down.
In this video I documented my journey to the first two summits, Aconcagua and Kilimanjaro - South America and Africa's highest peaks.

    Great insight to your journey so far mate, can certainly relate to many of the early stage challenges that you've faced to date with my own attempt but you've added a layer of complexity from sea level & back. No doubt you'll face further challenges along the way but nothing is impossible. Look forward to seeing your audience grow. Everyone starts from somewhere, I remember hearing of Nims project when he first set foot on Annapurna whilst I was in Nepal back in 2019 now look at him. Its interesting how these crazy goals and ideas come to life when we decide to take action and push ourselves and what we are truly capable of achieving. I found it to be the most fulfilling and greatest trajectory in personal growth to date. Enjoy the journey, look forward to the next one

    Yeah, he's just lost his partnership with Osprey due to sexual assault allegations. It's become apparent that he is not someone who should be looked up to just because of his impressive physical feats, there's also quality of character to consider. His reputation is basically going off a cliff.

    Nice to see you guys showing the reality of the mental anxieties, physical hurdles and financial struggles with goals like this. I don't really resonate with these big corporate sponsored athletes like Nims, they're too disconnected from the average person imo. And then there's the sexual assault allegations.. Osprey has terminated their partnership with him so is this someone who should be looked up to? I just turned 40 this year and have set a goal to summit a 6250m peak in Northern India, unguided/alpine style and solo, in a few months. I just got my handmade backpack in the mail from Colorado USA, an 80L Seek Outside pack.. the wheels are truly in motion 😀 These kinds of videos are good inspiration, looking forward to seeing your Kili trip 👍 Cheers from Australia.
