In this week's episode, we welcome Tim Macartney-Snape to the show. Tim is famously known for his mountaineering pursuits, particularly in relation to his two summit trips on Mt. Everest. His first summit of the mountain was made in 1984 with Greg Mortimer. The pair were the first Australians to reach the summit of Everest without supplementary oxygen via a new route on the North Face . In 1990, Tim completed his second summit, but this time he started in the Bay of Bengal and walked every single one of Everest's 8848 meters, becoming the first person to walk and climb from sea level to the top of the world.
We talk with Tim about these two journeys, ask where his passion for adventure began, chat about ski equipment but most importantly, ask if he really did summit the highest mountain in the world wearing an old pair of leather telemark boots. We hope you enjoy our chat with Tim Macartney-Snape.
