Michael Woods is a British mountaineer with an extraordinary goal. He aims to become the first ever deaf climber to conquer the Seven Summits: the highest peak on each continent, including Mount Everest.
His journey begins in May 2025 with Mount Elbrus in Europe. Battling freezing temperatures, fierce winds and deep snow, Michael pushes through exhaustion to reach the summit, demonstrating his ability to adapt and overcome the unique obstacles posed by deafness in extreme environments.
Just weeks later, Michael sets out to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa’s tallest peak. Trading snow and ice for rainforest and volcanic rock, he battles the crippling effects of altitude sickness as he climbs higher into thin air. Every breath becomes a battle, every step a test of willpower.
Throughout his expeditions, Michael records his experiences through video diaries and stunning footage, capturing not only the physical and emotional highs and lows but also the beauty and isolation of the mountains themselves.
