FROM BROKEN TO BASE CAMP
A journey from tuberculosis to the Seven Summits. The current chapter is physiotherapy, strength work, and a disciplined return to full mountain training. Everest remains the 2028 objective.
The Story
THE ALGORITHM OF RESILIENCE
The Breaking Point
Bedridden with tuberculosis. The doctors said walking would be a challenge. My lungs were compromised, my body weak. But in that hospital bed, I made a decision: I would not just walk—I would climb.
The Ascent Begins
One year after TB, I stood on a Himalayan glacier. That delta—between "impossible" and "done"—became my home. Kilimanjaro. Elbrus. Aconcagua. Denali. Four of the Seven Summits conquered.
The Setback
Broken Talus. Surgery. The mountain doesn't care about your plans. But setbacks are just data points. Every injury is a lesson. Every careful rebuild is part of the climb.
The Rebuild
The Everest objective remains, but the current work is physiotherapy, gait correction, and supplemental strength while I rebuild toward full mountain training. Everest remains the 2028 objective. The immediate work is recovery-led: restore gait quality, mobility, and strength before a safe return to running, then build deliberately from there.
Expedition Log
THE VERTICAL JOURNEY
KILIMANJARO
The first step. High altitude acclimation and team dynamics test.
ELBRUS
Technical snow climbing and weather endurance in Russia.
ACONCAGUA
The highest peak outside Asia. Pure physical endurance.
DENALI
Unforgiving arctic conditions. Technical glacier travel.
EVEREST
The ultimate ceiling. The culmination of the journey.
VINSON MASSIF
The bottom of the world. Extreme cold logistics.
KOSCIUSZKO

The Code
HOW WE CLIMB
PRECISION
Success at altitude is a math problem. Weight, calories, watts, oxygen. We solve for X.
WITNESS
Capturing the raw, unfiltered reality of the death zone to inspire the next generation.
COMMUNITY
It takes a village to reach a summit. We climb together, or we don't climb at all.
JOIN THE MISSION
The Everest objective is still intact. Right now the work is physiotherapy, strength support, gait correction, and a deliberate return to running before full mountain training resumes.
