Traversing The Haute Route Pyrenees with SFE Client Peter

Long time SFE member Peter is passionate about ultra distance adventures - whether it’s hiking, cycling, skiing or running. 

Today he joins us to talk about his most recent challenge - The Haute Route Pyrenees, which traverses the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Coast.

Peters planned route would take him along 840km of varying terrain, include 60,000m of elevation, and take a predicted 60 days.

However like many great adventure, you have to respond to the conditions that are thrown your way.

From high temperatures, storms, having to navigate the effects of glacial erosion and the boulder fields that came as a result, Peter shares his journey - the highlights and the challenges. 

Kriss asks him about his go to food choices, his meticulous ’spreadsheet’ planning and how his body is recovering now he’s home. 

An inspirational journey, thank you for sharing it with us.
