Adrian Ballinger – Life Beyond Everest

Adrian Ballinger has spent more than two decades guiding climbers on the highest mountains in the world. As the founder of Alpenglow Expeditions and one of the most respected mountain guides in the industry, he has helped clients reach the summit of Mount Everest and pushed the limits of high-altitude performance. But after years spent away from home, Adrian began asking bigger questions. In this episode of Fika With Bjarne, Adrian shares stories from Everest, the evolution of Alpenglow Expeditions, and how becoming a husband and father changed the way he sees success, adventure, and life itself. From climbing 8,000-meter peaks to learning how to be present at home, this conversation explores what really matters when the expeditions are over. ☕️ Welcome to Fika With Bjarne.
