From a warm office at a ministry 👩🏼‍💼 to an expedition that attempted to climb Broad Peak 🏔️ (8051 m a.s.l.)... That's the story of none other than our friend and Gramino ambassador Pavlína Adam, who on her last big trip traded horizontal kilometers for vertical ones 🆙.

From a cozy office at a ministry all the way to an expedition that attempted to climb Broad Peak (8051 m a.s.l.). That's the story of none other than our friend and Gramino ambassador Pavlína Adam, who on her last big trip traded horizontal kilometers for vertical ones.

**Tune in to this episode about taking on the world's 12th-highest mountain and you'll learn, for example:**

- How do you sleep at 7 000 meters?
- How do you go 💩 up there?
- What happened that kept Pavlína from reaching the summit in the end?
