Ep. 1099: Alex Harz - The Culture of Everest

Join in as filmmaker Alex Harz shares his journey of creating a documentary about Mount Everest, focusing not just on the climb but on the cultural and spiritual significance of the mountain and the Sherpa people. He discusses his personal motivations, the challenges of climbing, and the profound experiences he had in Nepal. The conversation delves into the spirituality of the region, the Sherpa culture, and the impact of climbing Everest on both climbers and the local community.

The films Alex made, 'THE QUEST' Series are unique quests to deeper understand and climb the most iconic mountain in the world, Mt. Everest, and to reveal the fascinating culture, history and nature of Nepal. FYI, 'THE QUEST: Everest VR' is the only "real-life" 1st-person Virtual Reality documentary ascent of Mt. Everest, and the closest experience to climbing the peak without all the risk, training and preparation needed to physically step foot on the mountain.

Ep. 195: Canadian Coastline on a Couchbike - Brent Curry

Adventures don’t always have to involve scrambling to oxygen depleted peaks or leaping from perfectly good airplanes. You could always have your adventure on your leather love seat which is mounted to a custom bicycle chassis. Brent Curry and his buddy Eivind did just that. Once their couchbike creation was complete in 2002, they set off on their comfortable pedaling tour of eastern Canada’s coastline.    www.bikeforest.com www.bikecad.ca   Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
