From bedridden to the Seven Summits.In 2013, I was fighting tuberculosis and could barely walk 50 meters. A year later, I stood on a Himalayan glacier during my first trek to Sar Pass. That moment sparked everything.

Since then, I've completed four of the Seven Summits - Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Elbrus, and Denali - documenting the physical, mental, and emotional transformation that happens in pursuit of something bigger than ourselves.

THE STORY

From Disease to Discovery

2013. Bedridden. Tuberculosis. Multiple surgeries, barely able to walk 50 meters without collapsing. This was my lowest point - the foundation for everything that followed.

2014. Sar Pass, Himalayas. Completely unprepared, out of breath, slow. But I kept going. Standing on that glacier, something sparked in me that changed the trajectory of my life.

Summit Chronicles isn't just about mountains - it's about what they do to us physically, mentally, emotionally. It's about the discipline, failure, fear, and transformation that happens in pursuit of something bigger than ourselves.
