Three Ways to Move Forward with Higher Ground
Behind Higher Ground
Olivier Gil
For over fifteen years, I’ve practiced in the mountains while balancing a demanding professional and family life.Through increasingly ambitious projects — from a one-push solo ascent of Mont Blanc to expeditions above 6,000 meters — I realized that success wasn’t about doing more, but about structuring preparation better. That reflection evolved naturally into coaching. Today, I’m a certified UESCA Ultrarunning Coach, supporting mountain athletes in building clear, sustainable preparation for ambitious objectives.
