Supporting Sherpa Communities -Devastated by Covid Supporting Sherpa Communities -Devastated by Covid. The Sherpa Community has been cut off from basic needs due to Covid. Travel restrictions have stopped their economy and created desperation. These are our friends, they have given so much and now they need our help. We are all one community. When you donate to this cause, as a thank you you’ll receive a prescreening of ‘Ama Dablam, the Rebirth’ This campaign is the work of the wonderful Moe Al Thani, please support if you can. @moealthani To donate the link is in my bio. .. #sherpa #community #nepal #covid #mountains #climb #giveback #donate #everest #khumbu .. @adventurebase @lynwoodandco @petzl_official @lasportivauk @dzifoundation @crudecoffeeroasters @vidrate @richardiceland @garogosi @mountain_planet @mounteverestofficial @thenorthfaceuk @thecoolconversations @ukinnepal @himguides @everest_today
‘It’s not about winning, it’s the taking par ‘It’s not about winning, it’s the taking part that counts’ I was constantly told this by my parents as I was growing up, but I never subscribed to it when I was young. For me it was all about winning, to the extent that unless I thought I could win I’d shy away from whatever it was. It became such a ‘thing’ that I’d find ridiculous excuses not to take part. Unfortunately I brought this same mentality into my adult life, refusing to do any running or cycling races or even certain climbs that may expose my weaknesses. If I couldn’t be the best I’d avoid it, avoid the failure and stigma it may bring. Now I look back I realise it did nothing for me, in fact it simply took me away from people that would elevate and encourage me. This week I ran my first ever marathon, I knew it would be hard but it went beyond hard. I was the slowest out of the group, the last to finish and I was broken. Being something of a celebrated climber (in my own mind at least) I think people expect me to be great at any endurance sport…so of course I revert to character and shy away. This week showed me what I’ve been missing, no one gave a crap how fast or slow I was, there was no winner or loser, it was a bunch of people out having fun in the beautiful countryside. Folk were already heading home by the time I crawled into the finish at the car….only to realise that the true finish was a further 1.5miles (cue tears). Later, as I sat in the nearby river soothing knackered legs, the few runners that were left (I was THAT slow) were chatting about everything and nothing about the day yet not a single word referenced winning or losing. To everyone that ran on Wednesday, I salute your power and endurance, it was a humbling and enlightening experience. @seanconwayadventure thanks for walking with me when it hurt and being so legendary. To @pritchardswyd I appreciated the banter and enthusiasm that flowed. Finally to anyone that doesn’t take part for fear of failure…..remember that failure doesn’t hurt if you take part and belong to something bigger than your own mind. - Sponsors - @adventurebase @thenorthfaceuk @mission.uk @evileye.eyewear @lasportivauk

The Everest 2021 season finally comes to end. It’s been a long season with very mixed weather with the added complications that came with CoVid. As the final teams leave Basecamp I thought this great image taken by @milkycoffee1 was a fitting one to share. I’m already looking forwards to next season.....who else is going to be there? #everest2021 #nepal #himalayas #climb #Lhotse #mountains #adventure #snow #everestbasecamp #tents #everestexperts #14mount8000 #discovernepal #visitnepal #getitdone - Sponsors - @adventurebase @thenorthfaceuk @mission.uk @lasportivauk @lyonequipment @torqfitness @landrover @landrover_uk @factionskis @evileye.eyewear ... - Supporters - @panorama_lodge_namche @thepavilionshimalayas @qatarairways @thecoolconversations @fatmap_official @vidrate @lynwoodandco @ifit @mounteverestofficial @mountain_planet @planetmountain @14mount8000
