Une vie à 8000m | Jean Troillet | TEDxMinesNancy
--
Jean Troillet est un alpiniste hors normes, le seul de l'histoire à avoir passé plus de 30 ans à parcourir les sommets de l'Himalaya sans jamais y laisser la vie. Dix sommets de plus de 8 000 mètres, gravis sans oxygène et en style alpin : pas de cordes fixes, pas de camps établis, juste l’essentiel. En 1986, avec Erhard Loretan, il signe une ascension-éclair de l’Everest par la face nord, aller-retour en 43 heures. En 1997, il devient le premier à descendre cette même face… en snowboard. Mais Jean Troillet ne se résume pas à ses exploits. Ce qu’il partage aujourd’hui, c’est une manière de vivre forgée là-haut, dans l’engagement total, le doute, l’intuition. Il nous invite à poser un autre regard sur le risque, à sortir du contrôle permanent, et à retrouver un peu de justesse dans nos choix. Son regard aiguisé et authentique ouvre des pistes pour mieux vivre, avec plus de simplicité, d’audace et de cohérence. Un moment rare avec un homme qui fait rimer hauteur avec profondeur.

- 13:58Learning to let go | Antarctic Mike Pierce | TEDxSwanseaIn 2023, Mike faced a life-altering event that would challenge even the strongest among us. Yet by 2024, inspired by the resilience of his hero, Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, he emerged not bitter — but better. In this unforgettable talk, Mike shares a powerful journey. It’s a story that will make you laugh, make you cry, and stay with you long after the final word. On February 13, 1985, my wife Angela fell 150 feet off a mountain in Durango, Colorado, breaking nearly every bone in her body. 38 years later, all the compounding medical problems came to a crescendo, as she passed away on December 28, 2023.How I managed to LET GO of her and rebuild my life after a wonderful 35 years with the first and only girlfriend of my entire life is based on the 1914 story of the Endurance expedition, where Ernest Shackleton led 27 others home safely after being shipwrecked and stranded in Antarctica for 2 years.I literally learned from Shackleton how to LET GO, see difficulty differently and how to choose better over bitter in bad moments. This story is one that will make you laugh and cry. Most important, it’s one you’ll never forget as you too live through your own Antarctic moments.
