A Decade of Endurance.

A Decade of Endurance.

A 10-year solo project: mastering running, climbing, skiing, and survival in Earth’s wildest ranges.

Each year, a new challenge—each objective, a step closer to lifelong alpine evolution.

Why This Mission?

This decade-long project is about becoming more than just an athlete—it’s about being humbled by wild places, learning how to survive, and letting each mission leave a mark. Out there, the rules are simple: adapt, endure, don’t quit. Every year brings a new environment, unexpected obstacles, and the need to problem-solve when no one else is around. The goal is growth, not perfection—getting comfortable with discomfort and turning it into progress, one summit at a time.

I want to carve out a legacy that’s as much about sharing and learning as it is about sweating it out on a ridge at dawn. These missions aren’t just personal tests. They’re about carrying forward stories, mistakes, and small victories. They’re a way of showing anyone watching that grit matters, preparation matters, and so does the willingness to start again when things fall apart. Hopefully, the map I draw here helps someone else chase their own boundary.

This page exists to pull back the curtain on what drives this journey—the mishaps, the moments of awe, the doubts, and the breakthroughs. It’s not just a checklist of big peaks or hard days. It’s an honest look at the real work behind ambition and the people behind the mission. Follow along for raw lessons, quiet milestones, and the spirit that keeps me moving when the weather turns and the summit is still out of reach.
