facebook.comBest of luck to our old (not-so-old) Everest buddy Teo as he heads off on a mighty solo expedition across Lake Baikal in Siberia, bidding to be the first Norwegian to complete a solo crossing. Go n-éirí an bóthar leat Teodor Glomnes Johansen.
Impressive stuff.
Farewell to the legend, Elizabeth Hawley. Her contribution to the history & recording of climbs in Nepal was simply immense.
This day 9 years ago we were at Base Camp on Aconcagua on one of two visits to the highest peak in South America. We would return in 2011 to stand on the summit. Best wishes to all those hiking and climbing during the Christmas period. #aconcagua #sevensummits
Something different... A fellow Killoe & Longford man Sean Rooney has released his first single titled 'Everest High'. best of luck with it Sean, helping folks to find their voice. PD
Great short film featuring our good buddy Teodor Glomnes Johansen from Norway who was alongside as a teammate during the drama & trauma of both Everest 2014 & 2015. Well worth a watch.
Kudos to Erin and the team for this record breaking first soccer match atop Kilimanjaro. Erin Blankenship tore up a few GAA fields in Asia during her time with Hong Kong GAA, great to see it stood to her. Fantastic achievement folks, you should all be fantastically proud.
Great to spend an hour with some of the pupils of Felton Fleet Primary School in London yesterday talking about mountains, adventure and the ups, downs and importance of taking risks.
Ueli Steck New Speed Record Eiger 2015
Sad to hear that Swiss Machine has left us. His record breaking freeclimbs were an inspiration. He was a master of the alpinist craft, one of a kind.
