Feeling the World - Jelle Veyt

Hiker Trash Radio

Jelle Veyt takes a brief break from his human-powered expedition of climbing the Seven Summits to join Doc in the studio to talk about his adventures. Settle in and buckle up as Jelle discusses both his incredible life journey as well as his journey to become the first person to ever get to and climb the highest peak on each continent by human power. During this incredible conversation, Jelle covers a lot of ground, including living on the streets for three years as a teenager, being made fun of by Sherpas, pitching his hammock just high enough to avoid the crocodiles, a 40 below cycle through Alaska, rowing while puking for 16 days, and just how much world context he has gained as he has traveled to and summitted five of the seven peaks so far. Jelle also shares his plans for getting to the last two summits, Aconcagua (South America) and Vinson Massif (Antarctica!). Epic.
