Written By Chris Shirley

In episode 16, I interview Hari Budha Magar and Justin Oliver Davies, a pair of double lower-limb amputees aiming to summit Mount Everest.

In the episode recorded in 2021, they tell me about their experience climbing Kilimanjaro, the narrow bosses ridgeline on the way to the Mont Blanc summit, the difficulties of finding prosthetics for mountaineering, and how they plan to tackle the challenge of summiting Mount Everest!

In this episode, I talk to Sam Sidiqi, now the first Afghan mountaineer to summit Everest!

Motivated by his passion to foster mountain sports in Afghanistan, Sam embarked on his Everest expedition with the aim of raising awareness and generating funds for the development of skiing and mountaineering particularly in the remote highland regions. Through his charitable trust, Afghan Peaks, Sidiqi seeks to unlock the immense potential of Afghanistan's breath-taking mountains.
