20 – 30 March 2027. Two places left.

There is a quieter Himalaya, and almost nobody goes.

Eleven day itinerary, eight days through Sherpa heartland… monasteries, prayer flags, family kitchens, and a dawn on Pikey Peak that opens onto Everest, Lhotse and Makalu.

Not a race to altitude. A spiritual trek through a place shaped by reverence, led by me and my climbing partner Pasang.

Curious to find out more?
Comment/ DM “NEPAL” and I’ll be in touch.

Solo trekking through the Himalayas.
This is what works for me.

PACK – 65L North Face Summit Series Cobra 65. Small hip pack for phone and snacks. Packable daypack for acclimatisation walks. Dry bags.

SLEEP – Liner only. Every tea house has duvets. Controversial opinion, but I do not carry a sleeping bag.

LAYERS – 800-fill down jacket. Fleece or soft shell. Gore-Tex shell and rain pants. Lightweight windbreaker. Thermals. Trekking pants. Sun hoody. Cap, beanie, buff. Liner gloves and outer gloves. One clean set for the evenings, kept clean. Quick-dry underwear. Socks: a few thin, a few thick.

FEET – Trail runners are what I use (not many people do). Boots are best for ankle support. Microspikes, the most underrated thing in the pack.

MOVING – Sturdy trekking poles. Sunglasses, and a spare pair.

WATER – Two 1L Nalgenes, a filter or tablets, electrolytes. Carry less food than you think, the tea houses sell plenty.

TECH – Power bank. Tea houses charge you to charge. Cables, phone tripod.

SMALL THINGS – Head torch and spare batteries, non-negotiable. Pocket knife. Blister plasters and tape. Sunscreen and SPF lip balm. Hand warmers. Toiletries, kept light. Cash in rupees, there are no ATMs past Namche.

Total: about 17kg. Heavier than ideal for my body weight, and I usually double up days. For a big trek you want your pack at max 25% of what you weigh.
Permits, passport copies and insurance that covers helicopter evacuation above 5,000m.

Swipe for the tips I would give anyone walking into the Himalayas alone.

And if you would rather not do it alone, my next guided expedition is open. DM “CLIMB” and I’ll be in touch.

REMY20 at check out with The North Face South Africa for a little gift to yourself.

I could tell you what it’s like to climb Kilimanjaro with me.

But I’d rather let them tell you. 🌻🏔️

I can’t promise you the summit. No honest leader can.

But I can promise to walk every step with everything I have… and make sure this journey means far more than standing on top.

Kilimanjaro doesn’t need to stay on the someday list.

Comment/ DM “KILI” and let’s bring your dream to life.

Bikepacking Slovenia!

Alps to Adriatic, by bike, as a family.

Bled to the sea in seven days… ages 22 to 71, e-bikes to gravel bikes.

Swipe through for the route, the gear, where we stayed and when to go.

Slovenia, you were unreal.

This one is for every woman who was told to watch from the side, and rode anyway.

Le Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is here. And so are we. The greatest women’s cycling race on earth is unfolding right now, and every woman who rides is part of what made it possible.

Follow my badass bestie Tegan Phillips for live updates and commentary.

Zwift 🫶🏽

Also it’s Women’s month!!! And I’m here for it!!!! Let’s f@$king celebrate all that we are ladies!

Rest in peace, my brother, Nims 🤍

You always had my back. You believed in me, encouraged me, and led with a powerful spirit that touched so many lives.

The legacy you’ve left behind is far greater than the mountains you climbed. It lives on in the people you inspired, the lives you changed, and the courage you awakened in others.

My heart is with every climber who lost their life, and with every family carrying this unimaginable grief.

May you all find peace among the mountains you loved so deeply.
