#34 "Educated By Exposure" with Zahan Billimoria

Coldfear

In this episode, I sit down with Zahan Billimoria who has been featured in several Teton Gravity Films and other publications. He is a mountain athlete, guide, coach, and founder of Samsara Experience. We dive deep into the nature of risk, not just as something to manage, but as something to learn from. We talk about what it means to train the body and mind for uncertainty, how education in the mountains mirrors the kind of learning that sticks, and why presence—not just preparation—is at the heart of performance.

Whether you're a climber, Skier, or just someone drawn to the mountains and training, this conversation offers something rich and real.

Zahan is what I call a mountain professor.

Let’s get into it.
