The climb was challenging from the start. The terrain was steep and unforgiving, and the climbers had to be careful not to lose their concentration. @emanuelrohss and @thenewmccarthyism relied on all their training from Uphill Athlete to negotiate the precarious and challenging path towards the summit.

As they climbed higher, they found themselves on a narrow ridge with steep drops on either side. One wrong step could have meant a fatal fall. Read more about their incredible journey!

Emanuel Rohss (@emanuelrohss) and Peter McCarthy (@thenewmccarthyism) set out to climb the West Ridge of Begguya (Mount Hunter) in the Alaska Range in May 2022. Climbing Mount Hunter is not for the faint of heart. Although both climbers felt nervous, they had been inspired by other climbers' successes on social media. After a few days of climbing in the area and waiting for good weather, they set out to climb the West Ridge. Read more about their incredible story! Link in our bio.

How do you train for a 100-mile endurance run? Have you ever considered the crucial role of mental preparation in endurance racing?

Hint: you have to put in the time to learn from your mistakes.

For a deep dive, check out Uphill Athlete Coach Alyssa Clark's (@theory_in_motion) incredible training journey loaded with patience. She finished 2nd in the HURT 100-Mile Endurance Run in January 2023 with a bold plan to break the female course record.

Alyssa executed her race plan well, minimizing aid station time and relying on consistent nutrition from @spring_energy products to sustain her run. She finished strong, learned to bet on herself, and had confidence in her training.

Meet Uphill Athlete Ambassador Branden Joy (@the_w

Meet Uphill Athlete Ambassador Branden Joy (@the_wild_ned) - an adventure athlete coached by Chantelle Robitaille (@runtellyrun). He is currently on an unprecedented expedition in Norway. He will attempt a 1,000-mile solo and unsupported ski and snow kite traverse of the Scandinavian Arctic (Norway, Sweden, and Finland). The traverse route is from the westernmost to the easternmost geographic extreme within the European Arctic.

The journey will take two to three months, depending on physical and mental fatigue, snow conditions, and other climate considerations. Track his live location on his website at joyofendurance.com. Stay tuned to our stories as we will bring more updates about his pursuit in the coming months.

A Montana native, Branden returned to the USA from a 5-month deployment in McMurdo, Antarctica, where he worked as a carpenter and supported remote field camp operations during the austral summer. With more than a year passing since his last major expedition, a high-altitude climb in Kyrgyzstan in the fall of 2021, he was ready for a rigorous and thorough examination of will and the human spirit through endurance and isolation in the most remote region of Europe.

Let's join together in support of this imaginative and arduous quest by a fellow Uphill Athlete.
