  • Helpful and useful.

    I listen to every episode. Wouldn’t mind overage on the other 7 summits as the season permits.

  • Truly inspirational

    Loved the episode with Scott Parazynski. Very friendly, upbeat and personable chat covering Scott’s amazing feats. Loved both of your approaches to “failure”, i.e. “non summits” and “learning experiences”. Truly inspirational. As previous reviews have said, Alan’s audio quality could be improved

  • Alan is the best!

    The definitive pod on Everest and big mountain high altitude climbing yet so down to earth - like sitting around having a beer with a friend who happens to tell the best stories that are actually true. Love the fictional version of a climb - absolutely epic!

Podcast with Ryan Mitchell & Justin Sackett: No O's Everest Update and Plans
Q: What led you to decide to turn back from the summit attempt?
The decision was driven by a combination of severe illness symptoms (GI issues, dehydration), a leaky lung condition suspected at altitude, and a clear assessment that summiting would risk long-term health. They prioritized safety and the ability to return home safely over completing the ascent.

Q: How's your team doing and what's the plan from Camp 3 to the summit?
We get up to Camp 3 and sleep on oxygen, then push over the yellow band to the South Col, rest on oxygen, and leave around midnight to attempt the summit, aiming for the 8-10 a.m. window, then descend back to Camp 2 and Everest Base Camp.
