Guinness World Record holder Adrianna Brownlee came on the show to talk through the last few years of her life climbing 10 of the 14 peaks (8,000 meters+) across Nepal and Pakistan and China, living with Sherpas, the relationships she formed in Nepal and the differences in the changing landscape.

Adri talks us through her fitness training routine for Everest and climbing 8,000'ers. How to mentally prepare for the possibility that you could die at any second.

We discuss the radical changes in the mountaineering culture over the last couple of years. The influx of new people to trekking, trying to get sponsorships to get go climb different projects around the world.

Adri has a passion for climbing, not for the records, but for the sense of purpose it gives.

We talk about the difficulties that you face as a climber on the mountain, the realities of the most inhospitable environments, remote locations where if anything goes wrong, you'll be in serious trouble very quickly and then we also discuss the business side of things. The growing cost of climbing expeditions, raising money through sponsors, living in the UK, wanting to be in Nepal, running a trekking business.

What's clear is that Adri is all in on climbing and treking and has along with sherpa Gelje set up a company called AGA Adventures to help run treks to Everest base camp and others mountains in Nepal.

If you've ever want to do the impossible, get in touch with them to learn how to safely climb, trek and scale mountains that are out of this world!

Adrianna says that mounting is 70% mental and 30% fitness. The golden nuggets are summiting that keeps you going through the hard times in life.
