What Is Of Mountains and Minds?

Of Mountains and Minds is the manifestation of a seven-year-old kid's dream come true. When Vincent first entered the line for Disney's Expedition Everest rollercoaster, at seven years old, he was transfixed by pictures of Mount Everest, the Sherpas, and various Himalayan deities. He went home from vacation with a new passion, leading him to download Nepali music on his iPod mini and run laps around his backyard with a weighted backpack, recording the number of laps in his "Everest Training Log." He eventually stood at the Base of Mount Everest during a semester abroad in Nepal in the Spring of 2023. He was inspired not only by the mountain's beauty but also its spiritual element, as Everest, or Chomolungma, is viewed as a god in Tibetan Buddhism.

Having been diagnosed and suffering from OCD since a young age, Vincent started Of Mountains and Minds to bring together his passion for climbing and mental health advocacy. Here you'll find articles and resources about both climbing and mental health. While the categories 'Mountains' and 'Minds' are separated on this site, we hope that after getting to know us, you see that there is really no distinction at all...
