“That’s when you remember people who never believed in you, you remember everything.”

This is the episode that will burry everything you think you know about the stereotypical adventurer.

Anthony has been on 4 LHO experiences including the Chamonix to Zermatt Haute Route and recently joined our unique expedition to a little known Himalayan summit called Paldor Peak.

After coming out of a difficult divorce and having lived a generally unhealthy lifestyle on multiple levels, Anthony decided to make a change in 2018 and set his sights on exploration in the outdoors. What began as a self-motivated challenge to climb Kilimanjaro opened the door to a transformation that he never could have expected.

“All the other experiences were much harder than Kilimanjaro but still Kilimanjaro for me was the hardest experience i’ve ever done.”

Today, Anthony is an ultra-runner and high altitude mountaineering who is burying stereotypes and proving beyond any doubt that every single one of us can find an experience in the outdoors that can inspire change.

We sat down with Anthony to talk about his transformation, what motivated him, how he’s managed to keep his drive, and what was going through his mind when he found himself 200 meters from the summit of Paldor Peak in waist-deep snow with nothing left to push on.

Be prepared to be inspired.
