Everest isn’t just a climb—it’s an all-encompassing experience. From the months of prep to the final steps on the summit, it demands everything: physical endurance, mental resilience, logistical precision, and a little bit of luck.
In the latest episode of The Duffel Shuffle Podcast, we dive into what makes Everest the ultimate proving ground. From the weeks spent at Base Camp to the final push at 8,848m, it’s a test like no other.
🎧 Tune in as we break down the reality of climbing the world’s highest peak—what it takes, what people get wrong, and why it’s still the mountain that defines high-altitude climbing.

How do you acclimatize for big mountains? 🏔️
Every range demands a different strategy. In the Andes 🇪🇨, we'll either pre-acclimatize at home 🏡 or use fast-paced peak progression to cut time on the mountain.
In the Himalaya 🇳🇵, we use Rapid Ascent™ to skip long, dangerous rotations and climb in half the time.
And in the Pamirs 🇰🇬, we apply that same system to move fast and stay efficient on remote 7,000m peaks.
Less time at altitude. Less risk. More climbing. ⏱️🧗♂️

This is what skiing should sound like! ❄️🌨️ A full day of hoots n' hollers in NatGeo Bowl as the snow kept dumping for Winter Locals’ Day. We’re beyond stoked to give back to the Tahoe community, support the Sierra Avalanche Center, and share the joy of skiing and riding in our backyard. Huge thanks to everyone who came out and made some noise with us! 🔊🎿
Skiing in Switzerland is legendary—but skiing with a guide takes it to the next level. From avalanche safety to finding untouched powder stashes long after a storm, expert guides ensure every descent is both epic and efficient. Instead of wasting time searching for the best conditions, you’ll be chasing perfect lines, linking up massive descents, and making the most of every run.
Switzerland’s backcountry is vast, and knowing how to move through it safely while maximizing fun is what guides do best. With their deep local knowledge, they navigate changing conditions, pick the best terrain for the day, and ensure you get the most vertical with the least effort. Whether you’re after lift-accessed touring in Andermatt or big alpine descents, a guide helps you ski smarter, not harder.
If you want to experience the Alps at their best, join Alpenglow’s Switzerland Ski Adventure and see why guided skiing changes everything.
