‘Reaching the very top’ is a generic life advice for most.
Arjun Vajpai lives by it quite literally.
The youngest person to scale Mt. Everest, Arjun's true story is not just inspirational, it's monumental.
Having ascended more than 7 of the 8000-meter peaks in the world (as of April 2023) Arjun's climbs are more than physical feats. They are inward journeys, with each climb shaping him in a profound manner.
What's his way of recalling each life-altering, and sometimes near-death, journey? Rocks. Handpicked from each summit, they serve as more than mere souvenirs. They are a tangible testament of a singular obsession.
Dive into a tale of an obsession that reaches dizzying heights and shows no sign of descending.
