416 - How to Climb Everest, with Extreme Alpinist Jost Kobusch
Manage episode 463381921 series 94199
Jost Kobusch is just back from Everest, where he is doing a multi-year project to climb the tallest mountain in the world... by himself... without oxygen... up the incredibly difficult West Ridge route in the middle of winter.
In winter, the effective altitude of Everest is over 9,000 meters, and the winds can reach 250 km/hour (155 mph). And - on top of that - the mountain was hit by a powerful earthquake while he was on it.
Find out...
- How Jost Kobusch optimises his training
- The relative importance of physical vs mental attributes in extreme sport
- How he overcame a potentially career-ending injury
- The dichotomy of fitness vs experience for maximum performance
- What it's like to be a full-time athlete
- Jost's best advice for someone who is considering an Everest climb!
- And more
