the world's 8th tallest mountainManaslu
Embarking on a rebirth experience after COVID-19 landscaped a shift in global consciousness, Matt Walker endeavors to embark on a journey exploring both the triumphs celebrated and tribulations endured whilst setting out to engage tremendous physical, mental, and emotional goals.
The 28-day expedition, summiting Nepal's Manaslu, will center around mind-body preparation, a vulnerable examination of motivations and fears, and the reemergence into a new world post-COVID.
This is not the story of conquering a mountain. This is the story of reemergence. Walker will be climbing Manaslu solo with logistical support from Alpenglow Expeditions — this is not a guided expedition, but a modern-day exploration of self through adventure, travel, preparation and training - all through the lens of fatherhood, entrepreunism, and human spirit.
Adventure as a catalyst for mindfulness and leadership: at home, on the mountain, and in community.
