Today I pick the brain of the amazing Jost Kobusch is a German mountaineer who spent two seasons on Everest trying to ascend the legendarily difficult West Ridge route and the Hornbein Couloir alone. And did I mention that he wasn't using supplemental oxygen and attempting this in the middle of the brutal Himalayan winter?

We covered a TON of interesting topics, including

Why do things the hardest way?
His closest call in the mountains
The dangers of the Khumbu Icefall
Getting hit by an avalanche at Everest Base Camp
His preferred diet for performance at high altitude
Training for high altitude
Dealing with injuries
And more

I hope you enjoy this! Share it with a friend if you do!

P.S. In 2015 Jost was about to climb Everest when an earthquake triggered an avalanche that destroyed Everest Base Camp. Here's the footage he filmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JC_wIWUC2U

P.P.S. At age 21 Jost became the youngest person to solo Ama Dablam, a 6812 meter mountain in the Himalayas. Here's a documentary about that climb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVG9U8UoT2I
