respect above the clouds

Allie aims to climb all 14 of the world’s mountains that are higher than 8000m, reaching their true summits, without the use of supplemental oxygen, in the world’s fastest time — just 2 years. It is also important to Allie to climb in a way that respects the custodians of the land.

everest mindset

The Everest Mindset, as outlined by Allie, comprises four key elements: self-awareness, tenacity, experience, and personal development (STEP). Self-awareness involves understanding thoughts and beliefs, while tenacity emphasises perseverance despite obstacles. Experience draws on past lessons, and personal development fosters continual learning and growth. This mindset applies not only to physical challenges like climbing Everest but also to overcoming mental obstacles and pursuing life goals with determination and openness.
