Anit Sah an adventurer and educator, speaks about his life experiences from his childhood in Nainital to his shift in interest from swimming to mountaineering to his journey to become the youngest person to summit Mt. Everest and finally starting his own adventure promoting organisation. He talks about the importance of decisions and how they shape the course of one’s life. He explains that students who enroll in his programme at Altitude Expeditions are challenged to take on new ventures, which help them build self-confidence and make life-changing decisions in stressful situations.
In this TEDxYouth talk, through Anit Sah’s journey from a young adventurer to the youngest Everest summiteer one understands how pivotal decisions and embracing new ventures can profoundly shape one’s life and growth. The perfect combination of an adventurer and an educator. At the age of 17, still in school, Anit became the youngest person in the world to be part of an Everest Expedition. The astonishing facts are that , singularly ill-provided with food and drink, without much oxygen, and absolutely alone with two of his friends gone to the maker, he climbed down 5000ft of a Himalyan giant which had over the years had claimed many lives. It is indeed an outstanding achievement by a single teen aged boy being in the long and yet unfinished history of mountaineering.
He started his work as an educator at the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (Uttarkashi) and has climbed over 50 prominent Peaks in India and abroad. He has now also taken responsibility as Secretary of Nainital Mountaineering Club which he had joined as young climber at mere age of 7. His expertise goes also to the deepest seas as he is also a certified SCUBA instructor. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
