Welcome to the Mark Wood Explorer Podcast. Join Mark on his latest expedition as he battles through some of the world's most extreme terrain to summit Mount Everest.

Mark is still in the training stages of preparing for the Everest ascent, so his training consists of a number of ascents and descents - preparing the body and mind for what it takes to deal with the effects of altitude. Now that Mark is back down at the lower levels you can hear how much easier it is for him to talk and breath. In this episode Mark takes us around a beautiful local monastery and deeply explains what he can see, hear and feel.
