https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredrikstrang/ After eighteen 8000-m expeditions where Mount Everest was one of the mountains I know that this is the case. Honestly, I have since childhood bee

n scared of heights, scared of death, I was victimized for being different and scared of just about everything imaginable. I therefore made myself my own superman suit one day when I was 6 years old because I was so tired of being afraid. Once I had this "suit" made of a pyjamas and a towel that I pretended was the cap I was indestructible, I could cheat fear and fear disappeared when I said the magical courageous words: give it to me, show me what you got fear, I'm not afraid of you! Here I stand! Hare you a chicken! I beat you! We can often do more than we think but sometimes we stand in the way of our ability. What does it take to awaken and sensitize this sleeping giant within us and succeed in the really big peaks and objectives that are important to us? I have succeeded in the mountains because I love what I do! I use these techniques to help others to succeed in their field of interest no matter if it's about harnessing your fear of heights or building a successful and strong team within a corporate business where I am your guide and inspirational source. It is joy, curiosity and passion for my profession that makes me yearn for the next peak and the next challenge. It is important to keep the spark alive if we are to be successful and manage to fill our lives with meaning. And it all starts with a first step, a thought. As Dalai Lama once said:
Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words. Take care of your Words because they will become Actions. Take care of your Actions because they will become Habits. Take care of your Habits because they will form your Character. Take care of your Character because it will form your Destiny,
and your Destiny will be your Life…

But this saying "power of thought can move mountains", does not literally mean that we can physically force mountain to move from one corner to the other (which I many years later understood), but rather that we have an unparalleled power to change our habits and viewpoint. A classical example that I practiced as my adventurous soul started exploring 8000 m peaks was that I could not change the steepness of a mountain no matter how freaken tired or frustrated I was after tracking chest-deep snow on 7000 m and above. But what I could change was my interpretation and relation to the circumstances. "The mountain does not become less steep just because I complain". Perhaps that is one of the reasons why mountains are so attractive. Mountains are the perfect environment for "instant gratification and instant paying your debt". They are neither fair nor unfair, they are just what nature has told them to be, steep. And somewhere between the base and the summit lays the answer to why I climb so I favor steepness. Give me more steepness, show me what you got! :)

So if you are a fan of life, mountains, challenges and pursuing your goals in life then my ambition is to nourish you with inspirational pictures, videos and updates from my fellow friends who push the limits for human endeavor. And please share your stories and passion with me! See you out there in the real world! Fredrik String

Big Announcement!

Sindre Kolbjørnsgard and I are heading to Nepal in October for a major expedition.

Our objective: unclimbed 6,000-metre peaks in one of the most remote parts of the Himalayas.

But this is bigger than climbing.

The expedition is the first chapter of a 1.5-year documentary project, LAST OF THE WILD — a new TV series exploring some of the last truly wild and relatively untouched places left on Earth.

It will start in Nepal but continue to New Zealand, Greenland, Colombia and Bhutan, combining real expeditions with science, environmental research and one uncomfortable question:

Just because we can go — should we?

The world is running out of blank spots. Wilderness is shrinking, ecosystems are under pressure, and places once considered unreachable are becoming accessible.

We want to document what remains — but also ask what responsibility comes with discovering it.

And now we are looking for a few audacious companies to join us.

Not companies looking for a logo on a jacket.

We are looking for partners who genuinely care about sustainability, resource efficiency, innovation and protecting what remains — and who want to use this project to make a difference.

Partners who want to help us produce the series, participate in the conversation and use the films, expeditions and stories to inspire their customers, employees and communities.

Think global. Act local. Protect what cannot be replaced.

If your company believes business can be part of the solution — and has the courage to back something ambitious — I would love to hear from you.

Nepal starts in October.
LAST OF THE WILD starts now.

Nepal is in urgent need of support.

Brief from my friend Björn Söderberg

COMMUNITIES HAVE LOST EVERYTHING.
It is hard to describe the last few days here in Nepal.
On Wednesday, part of a glacier and mountainside collapsed high in the Himalayas. A wall of water, rock and mud tore through the valleys below. Entire villages were washed away or buried. 469 people are confirmed dead and 977 are still missing. The numbers have risen every day since the flood.

Some of the hardest hit places, in Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading, are areas where we worked after the 2015 earthquake. The same communities, hit again.

The Himalayan Glacier is melting rapidly. Nepal is being hit again and again by floods, landslides and extreme weather. For communities here, climate change is not something in the future. It is already changing where and how people can live.

Search and rescue is still underway, led by the communities themselves alongside the army, the police and the relief agencies. Our role comes next.

Build up Nepal and Tuki Nepal Society Sweden are preparing a shelter response, from temporary shelter through to safer permanent housing and reconstruction. Thousands of families have lost their homes in the middle of the monsoon. Recovery will take years, not weeks.

I have attached our situation brief. https://lnkd.in/gyQYf4Y3
If you are in Sweden, you can contribute through Tuki Nepal: www.tukinepal.org

PTL is over for me this time. But I’ll be back. 💪🏻

Ten months ago, I couldn’t run.

After successful stem cell treatment at SLS in Stockholm, I went from osteoarthritis with bone-on-bone contact to completing a 100K ultra just four months later. That journey felt almost unbelievable.

But there’s a lesson in coming back fast: sometimes you come back too fast.

In preparing for PTL, I trained too hard and too much, without giving my tendons enough time to adapt to running again. This week, that caught up with me.

An inflamed Achilles, combined with a badly twisted and mobility-restricted knee, means continuing simply isn’t worth the risk.

Sebastian and I felt strong. Neither the technical terrain nor the time limits were what stopped us. My Achilles did.

Yes, a DNF hurts. I came here to finish. But pushing on now could turn a temporary setback into a long-term injury—and that would be a very poor trade.

The lesson? Muscles and endurance can come back remarkably fast. Tendons take longer.

So now the mission changes: rehab, patience, rebuild—and then come back stronger. 💪🏻

Ten months ago I couldn’t run. Today I’m disappointed that I couldn’t finish PTL.

When I put it like that, I know which part of this story matters most.

Thank you HOKA UTMB® Mont-Blanc for an incredible organization and one seriously wild course.

PTL—I’ll be back. 😉

A short video from our beautiful Dent Blanche visit last weekend, going from the parking lot to the Summit and back in one push. Spot the approaching helicopter in the end. The rescue team picked up a person who had a mild injury. The rescue team here are tough guys for sure 👊🏻💪🏻
Thanks to DJI for the support.

I always wanted to climb Dente Blanche, and yesterday me and my dear friend Kevin Todd Cantwell made it in one push from the parking lot to the Summit and back. Great day in the Alps 😍 The spectacular view of Matterhorn which I've climbed several times was a magical backdrop on the entire way up the south ridge of Dente Blanche.

It's heart-breaking to learn about the tragic accident on Broad Peak (8047m) in Pakistan, led by legendary record breaker and mountaineer Nirmal 'Nimsdai' Purja. An avalanche swept away 10 mountaineers on 30th of July. My thoughts and prayers go to their families and loved ones. My respect to the heroic efforts from the rescue team.

Nimsdai became a world wide phenomena in 2019 when he summited the world's fourteen 8000-m peaks in record time in 6 months and 6 days. His track record of scaling the tallest mountains in the world is impressive but his unselfish dedication to help people in need in the mountains through numerous rescues and inspiring millions of people to tackle their "possible" will echo for many years to come.

I had the pleasure of meeting Nims at K2 BC in 2019 during his Project Possible. He was devoted, hardworking, disciplined, and challenged the status quo. Thank you for your inspiration Nims!
