I am an Alpinist
As an Alpinist. I’ve been fortunate to experience some truly unique challenges in the mountains. Among these, I’ve managed to complete winter ascents of four 8,000-meter peaks: Shisha Pangma, Makalu, Gasherbrum II, and Nanga Parbat.
It’s a journey that’s been both humbling and exhilarating, allowing me the privilege to be among the few to undertake such climbs during the harshest season.
My climbing adventures have taken me to eight of the world’s fourteen 8,000-meter summits, with Everest welcoming me to its peak four times. Each expedition has been a lesson in perseverance, humility, and the sheer power of nature.
