Back in 1996, Goran Kropp biked all the way from Sweden to Everest, then climbed it solo and unsupported. Now, 28 years later, 22-year-old Jean Rouaux is picking up the torch in his own way. His goal? Ama Dablam, deep in the heart of Nepal. His starting point? Chamonix. That’s 11,500 kilometers on a bike and 80,000 meters of elevation gain. A long, demanding journey filled with solitude, effort, and pushing personal limits. Because maybe the real adventure isn’t just about reaching the summit, but everything it takes to get there.
