In this 6-minute segment, we dive into what drives me to take on some of the world’s most dangerous mountains, the highs and lows along the way, and the inspiration behind my new film Limitless Above the Clouds. Whether you're passionate about adventure, curious about high-altitude climbing, or looking for motivation to chase your own summit — this interview is for you.

I was recently featured on Channel 9's My Way, a show that shares inspiring stories of people following their passions. The segment gives a glimpse into my journey—growing up in the Blue Mountains, discovering my love for climbing, and my current mission to summit all 14 of the world's 8000m peaks without supplemental oxygen.

I can’t believe it - we’ve brought Limitless Above the Clouds to life! What started as a dream high in the mountains has now become a powerful, vulnerable, and inspiring film and I couldn’t be prouder to share it with you. ๐ŸŽฌ LIMITLESS ABOVE THE CLOUDS: 14 Peaks, No Oxygen ๐Ÿ“ Premiere at Nomad Bouldering Gym, Annandale ๐Ÿ“… Thursday, March 27 | 7:00 PM ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Tickets are almost gone – grab yours via the link in my bio!

respect above the clouds

Allie aims to climb all 14 of the world’s mountains that are higher than 8000m, reaching their true summits, without the use of supplemental oxygen, in the world’s fastest time — just 3 years. It is also important to Allie to climb in a way that respects the custodians of the land.

everest mindset

The Everest Mindset, as outlined by Allie, comprises four key elements: self-awareness, tenacity, experience, and personal development (STEP). Self-awareness involves understanding thoughts and beliefs, while tenacity emphasises perseverance despite obstacles. Experience draws on past lessons, and personal development fosters continual learning and growth. This mindset applies not only to physical challenges like climbing Everest but also to overcoming mental obstacles and pursuing life goals with determination and openness.
