TAA 056: Meet Hari Budha Magar, first double above-knee amputee completing the Seven Summits

On today's show I talk with Hari Budha Magar, former Gurkha, double above-knee amputee, accomplished mountaineer, and since yesterday the first person to stand on the highest peak on each continent. 'Congratulations, Hari!'.

Hari and I had the chance to talk about his life, his way into mountaineering and his current push to be the first couple above-knee amputee to complete the Seven Summits just before he left to Antarctica in late 2025.

To learn more about Hari, follow him on Instagram and visit his website.
