A mountain and rock climber who has successfully summited Mount Everest, crossed Greenland on skis, and climbed the highest and most remote mountains around the world, Alex also enjoys being an ultra-marathon trail runner.
It is not surprising then, that the quote Alex chose to share with listeners to 'In Your Element' podcast comes from Sir Ernest Shackleton - the trans-Atlantic explorer, whose ship - The Endurance, was crushed by ice. **If you don't know Shackleton's story yet .....it truly is a must read. **
Quote:
“Men Wanted: For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.”
― Ernest Shackleton
Alex also shares a story about his friend Carlos, who came to the TetraMap Certification course with his father. Alex tells us how this powerful learning experience built a common understanding between father and son - which has helped them deeply value and appreciate each other's differences.
