14 Base Camps: A Family's High-Altitude Adventure
Inspired by the breathtaking documentary 14 Peaks, John and Martina, along with their two adventurous sons, Ben and Will, are embarking on an extraordinary challenge: to conquer the base camps of all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks. This week on the Bucket Lister Podcast, host Keith chats with this remarkable family about their incredible journey.
John and Martina, seasoned travelers with 71 and 79 countries under their belts respectively (and Ben and Will not far behind with 46 and 44!), are no strangers to adventure.
Last summer, they tackled the first leg of their 14 base camps challenge, successfully reaching the base camps of K2, Broad Peak, G1 and G2, and Nanga Parbat in Pakistan. (Check out their detailed blog post at https://familyrussellsmithtravel.com/our-epic-journey-in-the-karakoum-a-day-by-day-guide/ for a day-by-day account!) Now, they're gearing up for their next adventure in Nepal, where they'll aim for Everest and Lhotse this Easter.
But this journey is about more than just personal achievement. As educators, John and Martina are committed to making a difference. Deeply moved by the lack of educational opportunities for children in remote mountain regions, they've partnered with the Nimsdai Foundation to raise £12,000, enough to fund three scholarships in Nepal. They also aim to develop and promote local teacher training projects across the Himalayan region.
Join Keith as he delves into the inspiring story of John, Martina, Ben, and Will, exploring their passion for adventure, their dedication to education, and their incredible quest to conquer the 14 base camps. Get ready to be inspired and discover how you can make a difference while pursuing your own bucket list dreams!"
