Mountain Malarkey Podcast

In Episode 200, Andy & Dave delve into the last 4 1/2 years of the Tuesday Tune-In since our very first episode in March 2020 (Sure there was something going on then). The guys chat about some of their favourite episodes and all the good stuff that's happened in the EverTrekker community on the podcast ever since. We never thought we'd make 100 episodes let alone 200 so we're really proud and privileged to serve our listeners with, hopefully, some useful info over the years and we can't wait to do 200 more!  It was a great live with lots of good questions and I hope you enjoy this week's episode.  Want to start your own journey, download the ultimate Everest base camp guide right here 👉 - https://bit.ly/ultimateebcguideET

In Episode 199, Andy & Dave delve into the recent unprecedented weather & rain in Nepal during the start of the autumn trekking season. The guys go into the challenges of running trips during these crazy weather events and the good, the bad and the ugly of delays in the mountains.  There were some really sad scenes in Kathmandu and many homes and villages were destroyed by this crazy amount of rain within a short space of time. It certainly put things into perspective when running trips in remote regions of the world and the guys chat about what happens when these events occur from an expedition management point of view but also how as a trekker or climber, ways you can get through this too.  It was a great live with lots of good questions and I hope you enjoy this week's episode.  Want to start your own journey, download the ultimate Everest base camp guide right here 👉 - https://bit.ly/ultimateebcguideET

In Episode 198, Andy & Dave delve into those tough moments on a challenge or trek when things get just that little bit tough. You know the times when you've hit that 10ft high wall and it doesn't seem like there's any way over it. Until that is, you smash through it and reach the other side! It was a great live with lots of good questions about things like how to dig deep when things do get tough, also discussions on pre-trip anxiety, and how to prepare for your first altitude trek.

In Episode 197, we’re celebrating 8 incredible years of EverTrek adventures! It’s been an amazing journey since we first started, and we took some time to reflect on how it all began, with our very first trip to Everest Base Camp in September 2016. That trek was the start of something special, and in this weeks episode we talk about the first journey, the most recent and more or less everything in between!  A huge part of what makes EverTrek so special is our EverTrekker community. We've been so lucky to learn so much from those who’ve joined us on treks over the years, and it's that community spirit that continues to shape how we approach every adventure. We couldn’t be more grateful for the camaraderie, insights, and friendships we've built through our trips. This episode is all about looking back at the past 8 years—full of stories, lessons, and a lot of personal growth for us and the EverTrek family.

In our experience over the years and from our EverTrekkers experiences, we have gained quite a bit of insight into what works and what doesn't work at altitude.

So in this ep we share 7 of the Must Do's to succeed in getting to places like Everest, Kilimanjaro or Machu Picchu.
