Nothing beats the feeling of knowing these are the last few steps to the summit. Sometimes you can’t make them, but when you can, it’s magical. .

When high altitude kicks in, you just have to believe that each one of these small steps will get you to the summit…eventually. .

Up there, everything is immensely difficult; not least, really believing that each of these tiny, slow steps was taking me closer to the summit of Everest. . #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede #everest #noO2 #8848 #himalayas #expedition @julbo_eyewear
The weekend is approaching fast. I hope you’ve got some crazy parties lined up although it will be hard to beat the wild scene up on Island Peak with @lucienboucansaud & @guillaume_pierrel a few days ago. . 🎥: @insta360 #x3 . #party #tent #himalaya #fun #partytent #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede #tomorrowland #ImjaTse #IslandPeak
For me climbing is one of the best ways there is to enjoy time with friends and family. It doesn’t have to be crazy difficult or insanely exposed to be fun and fulfilling. These pictures are from a day last year climbing a few pitches with my 82 year old dad. Days like this are worth their hours in gold. . #GlobalClimbingDay #WallsAreMeantForClimbing #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede @thenorthface_climb

Perfect conditions on the westface of Cho Polu three weeks ago. What a great adventure this was with @lucienboucansaud and @guillaume_pierrel ! . 🎥: @insta360 #x3 . #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede #alpinestyle #himalaya #expedition #kumbu #nepal #climbing @thenorthface_climb @team_edelrid
Just below 7000m on the Schell route on Nanga Parbat with @benjaminvedrines early on in the summer. . #NangaParbat #Rupalside #noO2 #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede @thenorthface_climb @team_edelrid @insta360 #X3 @julbo_eyewear #alpinestyle #8000
Part Three ✌️☝️ – Top 3 peaks for acclimatisation @david_goettler and @mike_d_arnold are getting ready for a summit attempt on Nanga Parbat at 8,126m in alpine style, so as part of their acclimatisation they have their favourite peaks lined up. #NeverStopExploring
A short, intense adventure is always a good one! @lucienboucansaud and @guillaume_pierrel and I just climbed Cho Polu, 6700m, via the 2011 route by Corominas and Parga. It goes straight up the steep west face, finally joining the S ridge to reach the summit. We took 10 hours from bottom to top moving in the light, alpine style which I love so much. I have wanted to climb this beautiful peak for many years and it did not disappoint! . #alpinsim #alpinestyle #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede @julbo_eyewear @team_edelrid #himalayas #expedition

A bit chilly perhaps, but undeniably beautiful to wake up on the summit of Island Peak this morning. . 🎥: @insta360 #x3 . #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede #ImjaTse #kumbu #himalyas #camping #tentwithaview
So good to be back here! From BC to the mountains it’s one of the best places for me to be and it’s even better to share it with my @thenorthface team mate @mike_d_arnold Despite some very unstable weather so far, we’ve climbed, skied, flew plenty and now just hoping for some more favorable and consistent weather for a summit attempt! #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede #himalayas #expedition #tentwithaview #NangaParbat @leki.ski.outdoor @julbo_eyewear #outdoors
Having this kind of terrain out the back door is definitely good for training motivation. We had cool multi-sport day climbing, skiing, flying and scrambling around and up to the top of the Aiguille d’Argentière. . . #neverstopexploring #trainingday @thenorthfacede @thenorthface_climb #chamonix #miniadventure #ski #climb #fly
Nice training lap up the Aig. du Tour this morning, and back in town for coffee before it got too hot. 😎 . 🎥: @insta360 #X3 . #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede #climbandfly @team_edelrid @evokeendurance @julbo_eyewear
We’ve had a beautiful day today moving from Namche to Chukung. @lucienboucansaud and @guillaume_pierrel keeping it real by pushing the pace and a super small and mellow puja in Pangboche gave us ( mainly me 🤪) a welcome rest break. I’m really so grateful for the opportunity to live these experiences. . #neverstopexploring @thenorthfacede @julbo_eyewear #kumbutrails #Namche #chukung #himalayas #trailrunning

It always feels good to have the opportunity to share the lessons I’ve learned from the mountains with those from other walks of life. It’s even better if there’s a day shared mountain adventure thrown in!

Can you spot me? It is always impressive when the big autumn storms roll in. The sheer power of Mother Nature is so good at reminding me of how small I really am. . #neverstopexploring #vectiv #trainingday #coastrun #cantabriainfinita @thenorthfacede #thenorthfacetrail @evokeendurance
One more from earlier in this expedition, during acclimatisation in the Kumbu. I found another amazing feature on my COROS Vertix2S – it’s so easy to create and upload tracks and use them while being out in the field. On top of that, the battery lasts ages, even whilst constantly in navigation mode! #exploreperfection @corosglobal @coros_dach #himalaya #nepal #Vertix2s
