Episode 159: Jon Gupta, No Such Thing As Too Much Experience

Episode 159 of The Adventure Podcast features climber, alpinist and high altitude mountain guide, Jon Gupta. Jon's made a name for himself as a Himalayan high altitude expert, and is responsible for organising and guiding multiple records and world firsts. He's spent most of his adult life in the greater ranges. In this episode, Matt and Jon chat about the world of high altitude, and how the niche of guided mountaineering has changed due to recent media hype. Jon was extremely open and was happy to be challenged, and challenged back. They also discuss the 'post-expedition comedown'.Support this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast" rel="payment" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast</a>.
