The Battle for Chad, Libya, & Bhutan’s High Points with Eric Gilbertson


Listen Later

Eric Gilbertson is attempting to climb every country's high point. He's two-thirds done.

Each high point has either a technical/physical challenge (e.g., K2 & Everest) and/or a bureaucratic challenge.

In this episode, Eric discusses three country high points that mainly have a bureaucracy that is stopping him, not the lack of oxygen.

I've climbed Chad's and Libya's high points, so I know what he's talking about. 

Listen to discover why I could do it but why Eric has been blocked. 

Let me know if you want to join us on a future hike up these two mountains.

He also talks about Bhutan's sacred summit.

His clone (Matthew Gilbertson) is joining him for most of the mountains. You can follow these twins on Instagram.
