The Final Summit
What do you do when you’ve achieved your dreams only to realize- your work’s just begun? In January of 2018, Chris Bombardier became the first person with severe hemophilia to complete The Seven Summits. It was the end of an adventure, and the start of a whole new chapter in Chris’s life. From the team behind the documentary Bombardier Blood comes a podcast for adventurers, bleeders, and anyone who’s ever chased a dream. Join Chris for a brand new, seven-episode adventure launching on May 22, 2022, the five-year anniversary of Chris’s reaching the top of Mount Everest.
