He blacked out on Ama Dablam. Mount Everest 2026 is next. 🏔️🤯 What really happened when his brain betrayed him?

In this gripping and raw interview, I sit down with physiotherapist and aspiring Everest 2026 climber, Tim Allardyce.

But Tim's journey is far from ordinary. We dive deep into the mind-bending realities of high-altitude climbing, including his shocking three-hour memory loss incident on Ama Dablam - a terrifying precursor to the psychological and physical gauntlet of Everest.

Tim shares the brutal 18-month training regimen 🏋️‍♂️, the immense personal sacrifices, and what he thinks about the huge queues predicted at Everest's summit this year.

We explore the fine line between ambition and obsession, what it's like to have your brain swell up, and the raw, unhinged realities of life in the Death Zone.

This isn't your average climbing story. This is a no-holds-barred look at what drives someone to push beyond human limits, even when their own mind betrays them.
