The Battle for Chad, Libya, & Bhutan’s High Points with Eric Gilbertson
from WanderLearn: Travel to Transform Your Mind & Life · host Francis Tapon
Eric Gilbertson is attempting to climb every country's high point. He's two-thirds done.Each high point has either a technical/physical challenge (e.g., K2 & Everest) and/or a bureaucratic challenge.In this episode, Eric discusses three country high points that mainly have a bureaucracy that is stopping him, not the lack of oxygen.I've climbed Chad's and Libya's high points, so I know what he's talking about. Listen to discover why I could do it but why Eric has been blocked. Let me know if you want to join us on a future hike up these two mountains.He also talks about Bhutan's sacred summit.His clone (Matthew Gilbertson) is joining him for most of the mountains.
