Two years ago,I watched the film Everest,in which adventurers get stuck on the mountain during a snowstorm.I immediately knew I had to start climbing.It's not the reaction most people have to that film;maybe I just needed more adventure in my life.And six months later,I climbed my first mountain,Mount Whitney,in California — North America's highest peak.
In the summer of 2017,I decided to climb the highest peak in every European country.
Growing up in Sweden,I was encouraged by my father to be outdoors all the time,but I wasn't a serious adventurer.I wanted to see if someone ordinary like me could climb mountains.
I didn't do any preparation for the first mountain,which was Mount Elbrus in Russia.It was exhausting,but I thought I would get fit climbing the rest,and I did.
Climbing mountains is an experience that is hard to put into words.You are in a beautiful environment and,when you reach the top,you feel incredible (不可思議的).But you also have to climb down,which is when most accidents happen.I don't climb mountains that I am not ready for,but each one I climb takes me to the next step.
I wanted to end the project at home,on Sweden's highest peak (2,097 m).It has two peaks:the north is rocky,and the south is icy.So alongside my camera assistant,I climbed both while wearing a superhero sujye.ai.It didn't feel as special as I'd hoped when I reached the top,but when I posted on Instagram,people started congratulating me.I felt proud.
In total,I spent about €50,000 (378,240 yuan),which is double what I had planned,but I eventually climbed 61 mountains in Europe.
You have to work on your weak sides while climbing.I don't like not being in control,but you cannot control anything on a mountain.It's made me a better person.When you're on a mountain for hours alone with your thoughts,it's like meditation (冥想).It makes you so much stronger,physically,and mentally.
My goal now is always to have a mountain in my calendar.One day I will climb Mount Qomolangma (known as Everest by the West) when I'm ready for it.
