  Gabriel Middleton — The Youngest Brit to Summit Everest

  Jul 24, 20261h 14mS1

  In episode 12 of Rise To Your Everest, Adam sits down with Gabriel Middleton, at just 17 years old, the youngest British person in history to summit Mount Everest. But this isn't just a story about a mountain. This is a story about a 13 year old with a dream, a father who backed him every step of the way, and a family that went all in together. Gabriel opens up about the years of preparation it took to get Everest-ready, what summit day actually felt like, and the moment he discovered that on the other side of real pain and suffering, there can be extraordinary elation. We talk about his father Ant Middleton, former SBS operator and one of the UK's most recognisable faces, and what it meant to watch him lead by example at 8,848 metres. We talk about family values, about resilience, about what it takes to keep moving when everything in your body is telling you to stop. We also sit down together at Millfield School — where Gabriel is a current pupil and where Adam himself was a student twenty years ago — making this one of the most personally meaningful episodes of the podcast. Gabriel is 17. He is humble, grounded, and quietly extraordinary. And his story is only just beginning. If you're a parent, an athlete, or anyone with a big dream and a mountain of your own to climb — this episode is for you.

  Rowing the Pacific: The First Women's Team to Do It. Jessica Rowe & Miriam Payne

  Jul 1, 20261 hourS1

  165 days at sea. 8,000 miles of open Pacific. One nine-metre boat, and no way off. This week I'm joined by Jessica Rowe and Miriam Payne — the first women's team, the first pair, and the youngest team ever to row the Pacific Ocean non-stop and unsupported, from Peru to Australia. Along the way they raised over £120,000 to help young people find their own version of a challenge like this. We get into all of it: the snapped rudder 300 miles offshore that nearly ended the whole thing before it began, the broken watermaker held together by nine repairs and a fair bit of ingenuity, the weeks spent running as a "ghost ship" with the power down, and what it actually takes — mentally, physically and financially — to point yourself at the biggest ocean on the planet and row. But the record is the least interesting thing about these two. What stayed with me was their grit, their humour, and how honest they were about the highs, the lows, and the strange quiet that comes after you've done the biggest thing of your life. Whatever your own Everest looks like, this one will make you believe you can start. — Follow Jess: @wild_rowe Follow Mims: @mimsinthewild The team: @seastheday2022 https://www.seasthedayoceanrowing.com/ Support The Outward Bound Trust via their site. 📬 Get in Touch: https://www.instagram.com/adamclayton.apex/ https://www.instagram.com/apex.officialuk/ 🔥 Podcast powered by: https://apexchallenges.com/
