    Ep. 50 - We Did It: The Full Everest Record Breakdown

    Summary  In this special post-Everest episode, Mr. C and Ty deliver the full play-by-play of Project Himalaya Run Everest. Ty summited on May 28th, 2026, breaking the south side oxygen-assisted speed record with a 9 hour 55 minute ascent and 16 hour 32 minute round trip, beating Lakpa Gelu Sherpa's 2003 record by over an hour on the way up and nearly two hours round trip. The episode covers everything: the frustrating weeks of weather delays and crowds that pushed the attempt to the final day of the season, a first attempt that ended in a turnaround above the balcony due to wind and logistical issues, a helicopter rescue after snow blindness on the descent, and then an extraordinary recovery and second attempt just three days later. Ty walks through every section of the route in detail, from the Khumbu Icefall in the dark to a moonlit jog through the Valley of Silence to a NASCAR-style pit stop at Camp Four. He reflects on what finally made the difference after going 0 for 6 across three seasons, the role of his team, and what the record means after six years of building toward this moment. The episode closes with the story of Quackers the duck, a tribute to Greg Krupa, and a look at what might come next. Stay with us!

    Ep. 49 - Important Everest Update

    Summary In a short but charged episode recorded live from Everest Base Camp, Mr. C and Ty reconnect after a two-week break and set the stage for the attempt now just days away. Ty recaps a frustrating but ultimately manageable three-week delay as a brutal weather season, postponed rope fixing operations, and massive crowds pushed the summit window later than expected. Now settled at EBC with familiar faces around him and the mountain quieter than usual, Ty says the energy is finally shifting toward go time. He walks through the plan: an evening start from base camp, a summit push the following morning, and an attempt to break both existing no-oxygen Everest speed records in a single continuous effort from base camp and back. The conversation also dives into why this sixth attempt feels different. Ty reflects on a healthier buildup, better patience, smarter recovery, and a pre-mortem exercise that helped him identify potential failure points months before arriving in Nepal.

    Ep. 48 - Everest Prep: Makalu Lessons, Recovery Science, and the Summit Window Approaching

    Summary In this episode, Mr. C and Ty debrief a pivotal Makalu training climb that served as the final dress rehearsal for Everest. A pack that was too heavy, a heart rate that crept too high, and running out of water above 7,800 meters led to a smart turnaround call just below the summit. Despite falling short of the top, the recovery went dramatically better than last year thanks to descending to lower altitude afterward and staying healthy at base camp. With the Everest summit window opening somewhere between May 10th and 20th, Ty is threading the needle between maintenance training and tapering. They cover the science of recovery and adaptation, and what metrics to trust when the data starts to conflict. Stay with us!

    Ep. 47 - Everest Prep: Final Days in Quito, Travel to Khare, and Two Weeks to Everest

    Summary  After an extended break, Mr. C and Ty reunite to cover a lot of ground. Ty opens with a brief tribute to his close friend Greg Krupa, who passed away on April 9th and was instrumental in getting Project Himalaya off the ground. From there the episode becomes a travel log: a perfect final double T day and strong 10-hour hypoxic session to close out the Quito buildup, a whirlwind 36 hours in Boston, a treadmill session in a Tokyo hotel, stair laps with a loaded pack during an airport delay, and two days stuck in Lukla waiting for weather before finally reaching Khare. Now settled into training camp with the Everest summit window roughly two weeks away, Ty previews a Makalu training climb as a final dress rehearsal. Ty closes out covering expedition rescue insurance and why coverage is non-negotiable in the Himalaya. Stay with us!

    Ep. 46 - Everest Prep: Tapering Lessons, Training Consistency, and One Week to Nepal

    Summary  In this episode, Mr. C and Ty break down the final mini block in Quito before departing for the Himalaya. They dig into a frustrating but ultimately revealing pattern of elevated heart rate on the first day back after recovery blocks, and what AI-assisted analysis of training data helped Ty understand about plasma volume and neuromuscular recruitment. They also get into a surprisingly deep conversation about tapering, whether it actually helps or hurts in Ty's specific case, and why some of his best big mountain days came off almost no rest at all. A stomach bug mid-week adds some drama, but Ty bounces back quickly and closes the block feeling strong, consistent, and ready. With one week left in Ecuador, the conversation turns reflective as Ty looks back on three months of the most consistent training of his career and looks ahead to a long journey to Khare.

    Ep. 45 - Everest Prep: Cotopaxi All-Nighter, Gear Lessons, and Sharpening the Final Blocks

    Summary  In this episode, Mr. C and Ty break down a 17-day training block ahead of Project Himalaya Run Everest, headlined by a 10-hour overnight solo session on Cotopaxi. They unpack why not hitting PR times on the Polichaski might actually signal better, more specific fitness for Everest. Ty shares lessons from the overnight including navigating soft snow conditions in real time, the challenge of sleeping before a late evening start, and how even a short break in freezing wind can kill physical and mental momentum. They also discuss the importance of breathing gear for protecting lungs in cold dry air and why packing for colder than forecast conditions is non-negotiable at altitude. Ty closes out reflecting on strong gains in his most Everest-specific training and previewing the final block in Ecuador before heading to the Himalaya. Stay with us!
