One of the most iconic peaks on Earth — the Matterhorn. Felt small, alive, and incredibly grateful standing beneath this giant. @Searbs00 #alps #switzerland #matterhorn #exploring #mountains #nature #backpacking #Hiking #outdoor #travel
You don’t always need to stand on top to understand the mountain. Sometimes the mountain doesn’t give you a choice. We faced one of the toughest routes, brutal conditions, and a storm that changed everything. Whiteout. 70mph winds. Slopes crumbling under our feet. One wrong step could’ve meant a life lost. So we turned back. Not because we gave up — but because we knew when to. And in the mountains, that decision can be the difference between a story… and a tragedy. A successful climb isn’t just about reaching the top. It’s about making it home. “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” 🏔️ Big thanks to @kuluarpohod team for taking care of me on this expedition 💚 #MontBlanc #FailedSummit #Mountaineering #AlpineAdventure #ThreeSummitsTraverse #Alps #Climbing #explore
