𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗯 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝟵 𝗵𝗿𝘀 𝟱𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀?? 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝗦𝟭𝟱𝗘𝟭 is Here!!! This episode features Tyler Andrews, a La Sportiva athlete, founder of the Chaski Foundation, and one of the most complete endurance athletes of his generation. From a high school kid running 18:30 for 5K to standing on the summit of the world’s highest mountain in record time, Ty’s path has been anything but linear. After years of road racing, Olympic Trials qualifications, a World Championship silver medal, and a US 50-mile national title, he turned to mountaineering and began rewriting the record books. 𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: • More than 100 fastest known times across five continents • Manaslu, the 8th highest peak on Earth, in 9 hours 52 minutes without oxygen • Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Ama Dablam, and dozens of other major peaks • Mount Everest, Base Camp to summit, in 9 hours 55 minutes in May 2026, breaking a 23-year-old record and setting a new round trip mark of 16 hours 32 minutes That Everest record was not easy. It happened on the third attempt, repeated turnarounds, and moments when the mountain simply said no. Ty returned again and again, adjusting his approach, training at the edge of what the body can handle, and eventually making the pragmatic decision that got him through Beyond the records, he is a coach, a cancer survivor, and the force behind the Chaski Foundation, which supports young athletes in places where opportunity is scarce. In this conversation, he talks about the long stretch of failure, the quiet decisions at high altitude, the mental cost of chasing something that may never come, and what it means to keep showing up when the outcome is still unknown.
