      Dear 277nch28,

      Thanks for your great question!

      I guess the most dangerous thing I have done is to make an attempt to reach the summit of Aconcagua. Its the highest mountain in the Americas at about 7000meters or 23,000ft high… its so high that nothing can live at its summit and the oxygen levels are so low that you can only remain at the top for a few hours without additional oxygen. Apart from the lack of oxygen, the weather can be really dangerous with highwinds and temperatures below -40DegC. Unfortunately I didnt make it to the top because of bad weather.. but that was the right decision to make because it is so dangerous but I am not discouraged… im going to try again soon…. until then watch this video to see some people who did make it to the top… what a feeling!

      whats the most dangerous thing you have ever done?

      I have piloted a small aeroplane myself twice! That was a lot of fun too, especially flying in and out clouds 😀
