BLOG HAS MOVED

Hi there, I have moved this Blog to my website www.iantaylotrekking.com I will continue to cover all aspects of training, preparing and taking on Adventure challenges around the world. You can log in daily and check out what we are up to and what's going on. 

VIEW FROM EVEREST

I set out with a friend of mine in 2007 to climb four mountains on four continents in one year and raise enough money to build the Mt. Everest Primary school in Uganda.

We achieved both goals and I became the youngest Irishman to summit Everest at the time. It was an adventure that gave me the confidence I needed to show I have something to offer to the world. I also took on the challenge of filming the adventure and successfully released our Everest documentary 'A Summit Calling'

Building the right team, knowledge, experience and having the vision and passion to achieve our goals was not easy, but by setting clear defined roles, set targets and having constant evaluation was key to our success.

Believe it or not we were having fun, having trust in my teams mate and the vision we were following made all the difference. We learned how to prepare from professionals, we implemented the training, we explored our weaknesses and developed our strengths and ultimately achieved everything we set out to do.

I now lead people to achieve their goals in the mountains running my own trekking company www.iantaylortrekking.com also speaking to teams, companies and people about how to achieve their goals.

I have years of experience in managing teams in a business, team and mountain environments. Bringing people to grow, explore potential and achieve their goals is a dream come true. I was told many times I wasn't good enough, but now I know better than that.  Working with the school we built in Uganda with charity Fields of Life, climbing mountains, believing I can be better and be better for other people add real value to everything I do.

USA

We have been out of action for a few days and slowly getting back to normal. We had a flight out of Dublin to Chicago. Our final destination for this leg of the journey is Kansas City as we have Murphy our Dog with us so we decided to drive from Chicago to Kansas.

We looked at the weather before we left and it looked fine. The first leg from Chicago to Iowa City was torrential rain. We woke from jet lag at 4am and decided to drive. A good thing we did because the snow came in and we got caught up in a nasty snow storm, driving at 25 miles an hour the journey which should have been 4 hours turned into 9 hours. Always be prepared was the learning.

Anyway we are back in action and preparing for Kilimanjaro in 21 days and planning trips to Mera & Island peaks, Everest base camp and more.

I will get back to normal soon and get posting pictures from our next filming adventure trip to Africa.
