Talking to Ahmed Al Monsouri About Summiting the Mont Blanc

“It’s so surreal. I’ve never been in a place like that. It is so humbling.”

Ahmed joined us on his first ever technical mountaineering trip to attempt the climb of the Mont Blanc. It wasn’t entirely clear if Ahmed was going to make it and he went from being the underdog of the group to one of the most inspiring summiteers we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.

“I kept repeating to myself for hours that my mind controls my body.”

This episode chronicles Ahmed’s journey from making the decision to join, his preparations in the months and weeks leading up to the experience, the challenges he faced during the training on the mountain, and finally his experience making the final push to the iconic roof of the European Alps.
