PaddyPallin Inspire:Allie Pepper, Limitless Above the Clouds

Limitless Above the Clouds shares the transformational story behind Allie’s mission to climb all fourteen 8000 metre peaks to their true summits without supplemental oxygen. She speaks about how her journey began in 2000, the midlife turning point that led her to commit to this challenge, and the highs, lows and lessons along the way. The talk includes insights from Annapurna, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Broad Peak, K2 and more, as well as the mindset tools she uses to keep moving forward despite setbacks, fear and extreme environments. Allie will also introduce the Limitless Mindset framework that she teaches in her workshops.

Allie Pepper is Australia’s most accomplished female high altitude mountaineer and a global voice on resilience and the power of a limitless mindset. She began climbing in 2000 during a mountaineering course in New Zealand, a moment that sparked a lifelong devotion to the world’s highest places.

She has a total of twelve 8000 metre summits, including Everest, K2, Annapurna, Makalu and Nanga Parbat. In 2023, at age 48, she committed to climbing all fourteen 8000 metre peaks to their true summits without supplemental oxygen in under four years. This is a challenge achieved so far by only a few men and no women.

Within her project she has completed five true summit no oxygen ascents and has pushed herself to the limits of human endurance, including reaching 8450 metres on Everest without oxygen before turning back due to extreme conditions.

Today Allie speaks and teaches on mindset, courage and human potential, inspiring people to break through fear and pursue the life they truly want.
