The School of Greatness · 54 Days Alone in Antarctica, Pulling 375 Pounds | Colin O’Brady · 3 Jul 2026 podcast

It's not like you don't stand around in the cold at all.

I mean, it's that cold.

You know, hypothermic frostbite can set in.

I got a little bit of frostbite on my cheeks and nose from these windstorms.

Like, the conditions are real out there, no doubt.

For this first.

So you've done Everest, you've done all these different mountains.

Yeah.

So I set the world record for something called the Explorers Grand Slam in 2016.

And so that was one of my bigger first big world record projects.

And the goal there was to be the fastest person to complete the Explorers Grand Slam, which is climbing the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents.

of course, Everest, Denali, Kilimanjaro, et cetera, as well as complete expeditions, both the North Pole and the South Pole.

And these polar journeys were just across the last degree of latitude.

So that was only 69 miles to reach each of the poles across the last degree of latitude.

Unaided?

Yeah, unaided.

Seemed hard at the time, but now when I've done a thousand mile journey in Antarctica, but that project was 139 days consecutive.

So all nine of those expeditions, Everest, Denali, et cetera, back to back to back to back without any rest, 139 days.

Cumulative time of that.

Fewer than 50 people had ever completed the Grand Slam.
