Climbing the Mountain of Life with Explorer Pat Falvey

Pat Falvey is a world record-breaking Irish explorer, having been the first person to climb the highest Seven Summits of the world, twice! His journey starts from a council house in the Northside of Cork City, where he watched planes taking off and landing at Cork airport. He was a dreamer who went on to achieve his dreams such as climbing Mount Everest, leading great expeditions to some of the most extreme corners of our globe, and learning life's most important lessons from the remotest of tribes. In this episode, Pat talks about growing up as a Norrie, going on to become a millionaire aged just 20, to losing it all and becoming depressed aged 29. He explains how climbing Mount Carrauntoohil in County Kerry saved his life, as it gave him a new goal and motivation - to reach the summit of the highest mountain of them all, Mount Everest. Pat explains what he has learned from his achievements and his failures and how being Irish has been an important part of it all.
