In this episode, I am joined by Mount Everest summiteer, improv comedian, member of the Explorers Club, and filmmaker Alex Harz to discuss his trip to Nepal and his climb to the top of Mount Everest while shooting a virtual reality and 2D documentary of his journey. This climb to the top of Mount Everest is part of a series hosted by Alex called "The Quest," which is designed to take audiences on thrilling and educational adventures to some of the most interesting place in the world. Alex tells me about the country of Nepal, the culture of the people of Kathmandu, as well as giving me a much deeper understanding of the Sherpa culture than I ever had before. Alex explains to me the physical and mental training it takes going into climbing the tallest mountain in the world, and we even find out how he used his improv comedy skills to reach the top.
