We’d be here all day if I had to list all of his expedition / adventure CV over his 30 year career (I sh*t you not, its 7 pages long!) but here are some to pique your interest: 

  • He’s a high altitude mountain guide, explorer, expedition leader, and all-round adventurer 
  • Led his first expedition to My Kenya’s North Face aged 20 
  • Notable first ascents in the Andes, Karakoram, and Greenland 
  • Put up new rock-climbing routes in Africa, South America, and Australia 
  • This was one of the most insane lines I found when researching for the show
  • 2018 summary: 75 x 6000-meter peaks, 5 x 7000-meter peaks, 6 x 8000-meter peaks.' 
  • Summited Kilimanjaro 60 times 
  • Explored unpadded rivers in the Congo and Amazon basin 
  • Ventured into some of the worlds most isolated deserts 
  • Lived with tribespeople in Kenya 
  • He is A Berghaus and Stubai sponsored athlete 
  • He holds a BSc in Ecology and Biology 
  • Now head guide for his company 360 expeditions - climbing, mountaineering, trekking, all round adventure goodness - as hardcore as you want to go 

So without further ago, I’d like to welcome today’s guests to the show, Rolfe Oostra
