🎙️ “The style of skiing I do is often very exposed and engaging… there’s a ton of risk. So allowing myself to spend a lot of time ice climbing, mixed climbing, and rock climbing — it’s only going to make me stronger in that terrain, but it’s also going to remove me from a lot of risk during the winter season.” — Christina Lustenberger on The Duffel Shuffle

In just a few weeks, we’re heading back to Aconcagua. At 22,841 feet, it's the highest peak in the Americas and, for so many of our team members, the next step toward the Himalaya. If you're keen to take that step, there's still time to join us.

On the east face of New Zealand's Aoraki (Mt. Cook), Christina Lusti and Guillaume Pierrel found a new way down—a ribbon of snow they named Hunter's Moon. Ascending what's traditionally an alpine climbing line called the Jones Route, Hunter's Moon is a more intricate ramp system to skier's right. With heavy winds, firm snow, and complex terrain, every turn demanded full trust in their skills, in the conditions, and in each other.

This descent became more than a first. It was a moment of total partnership—two skiers completely in sync, skiing into the unknown, and finishing what they came to do.

Go inside our Everest Rapid Ascent expedition—where precision, logistics, and experience meet on the North Side of the world's highest mountain. Our new mini-series pulls back the curtain on how we climb Mt. Everest from the Tibetan side. The planning, the pace, the process—this is Everest, the Alpenglow way.

We’re headed to Bolivia this July for a bold climb through the Cordillera Real — ascending peaks like Pequeño Alpamayo (≈ 5,300 m) and Huayna Potosí (≈ 6,088 m), with an optional extension for Illimani (≈ 6,438 m).

The climbing comes after two days of acclimatizing at high altitude, exploring La Paz and Lake Titicaca, so we can move better when we drop into technical terrain. Bolivia remains a little-known mountaineering gem — fewer crowds, truly big mountains, and a unique blend of indigenous cultures. Come climb with us.

Some of the best conversations on The Duffel Shuffle come from guests who are truly out there pushing boundaries in the mountains. Christina “Lusti” Lustenberger and Guillaume “G” Pierrel are two of them—athletes redefining what’s possible through first descents, deep intuition, and relentless commitment to the process.

This episode is a reminder that the real story isn’t just about pulling something off on the first try—it’s about trusting your vision enough to keep showing up for it, year after year.

As Lusti puts it: “You have to enjoy the process. You have to enjoy being uncomfortable, putting in the effort… if it’s meaningful to you, it’s going to have a lot of presence in your life.”

Patience, persistence, and a little luck.

Adrian talks about Tyler Andrews' fire and resilience through multiple attempts at the Everest FKT, and how sometimes it takes more than one try to get it right — or two, or three. Whether it’s Andrzej Bargiel on Everest or Adrian’s ski descent of Makalu, every failed attempt is still progress. You get humbled, you learn, and you keep going.

🎧 Listen to the full episode, and check out our past episode with Tyler!

GIRL CLIMBER is out now on Jolt — Follow Emily Harrington’s attempt to cement her legacy in the world of elite rock climbing. We've shared so many days in the mountains with Emily and we're beyond lucky to have her as part of the Alpenglow family!

🚨🚨New Duffel Shuffle series coming in November 👀

We’re breaking down the Seven Summits — Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, all of it. No script, no order, just honest conversations about what these peaks are really like and why people chase them.

If you’re thinking about climbing one (or just like hearing Adrian talk sh*t about them), you’ll want to tune in.

We’ve skied down volcanoes all over the world — from Chile to Ecuador and Mexico. But Japan stands apart. There, on Hokkaido’s snow-covered cones, we don’t just ski down volcanoes — we ski into them. Long, rolling descents that drop into quiet, snow-filled craters — one of the only places on Earth where the run ends inside the mountain.

🚨JUST 1 SPOT LEFT IN JAPAN IN 2026!!
