In this episode, we were delighted to talk to Lars Atkins, who has recently completed a fairly phenomenal ascent of one of the Alp’s most treacherous mountains, the Matterhorn. We discussed what keeps him returning to the mountains, how to persevere in the face of adversity, and the amazing charities that he was fundraising for. Whether you’re a keen climber or outdoorsy person or just an armchair adventurer, this was an interesting and enjoyable conversation that we’re sure many of you will enjoy listening to! If you would like to help Lars get to his goal of raising £7,000 you can do so over at www.gofundme.com/f/Climbing-the-Matterhorn-for-MacMillan. He was raising money for MacMillan and RNRMC and was supported in his training by www.eliteoutdoorfitness.com and you can find him on instagram at @thelarsypan.
