Today (April 19, 2023), Johnny Ward is on Mt. Everest, aiming to summit by the end of May!
Between now and his summit day, the WanderLearn Show will cover Johnny's climb up Earth's highest mountain!
I'll begin each episode with an update on Ward's Everest climb, and then we'll feature an excerpt from my interview with him when we were together in Chinguetti, Mauritania.
I interviewed him when I dropped in on one of his guided Mauritanian adventure trips. Later, we reunited in his adopted hometown, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
About this episodeJohnny Ward had no rowing experience, yet he rowed across the Atlantic Ocean with three men he had never met!
Learn about his adventure!
Watch it on YouTube, which features 3-minutes of BBC footage of his row!

April 19, 2023 Ward update on Everest2 weeks into our Everest expedition and sh*t is starting to get real.
We finally ventured off the lovely Everest Base Camp trek to tag a 6100m (20,000 feet) Himalayan summit, Lobuche. For our Everest climb, this is simply a warm up. For me personally, it’s the 3rd highest mountain I’ve ever climbed! Very grateful for @luckydavewatson guiding our crew. It’s been a brilliant 3 days, challenging but brilliant.
Climbing Lobuche is a privilege and makes me so confident I choose the right operator in @furtenbachadventures. Climbing it alone can cost $3k to $4k, but these guys add it to the expedition to avoid another rotation through the dangerous (and sometimes deadly) Khumbu icefall.
The team is going strong. We’ve all trained hard, dedicated the best part of the last year of our lives to this expedition. Tomorrow we finally reach base camp
