Joe French: Everest Avalanche and a Barefoot Running Recovery
Filmmaker Joe French talks about running barefoot through the forests and glens around his house to find a return to health and peace of mind.
About Joe French: Everest Avalanche and a Barefoot Running Recovery
In 2014, climber and filmmaker Joe was about to climb Everest and film a Wingsuit/BASE jump from the summit, when tragedy struck and 16 Sherpa were killed in the Khumbu Icefall.
In 2015, he narrowly survived the earthquake avalanche that killed 22 people at Base Camp and around 9,000 across Nepal. Meanwhile, his wife was diagnosed with cancer.
The accumulation of stress took its toll. In an attempt to find a resolution, Joe turned to his love of the outdoors, running barefoot through the forests and glens around his house to find a return to health and peace of mind.
