Hi guys, I'm sorry that from my side it has been quiet for a while. Whether you agree or disagree with my reason is up to you. Anyway let's share some things that happened with you. One the biggest hero's in my life passed away recently. Since I was born, I played with and learned from him. The most important thing I learned is never to judge people without knowing their story and still then you don't have the right to judge anyone. This hero is my Grandpa! Grandpa I love you and you helped me become the man I'm today. The other thing that happened is a change in plans, the roots for this choice go back almost a year ago. Last year I realized that if I would start a company that what do something to better the world, the reach of this company would never be more than its own reach. So I started thinking and figured that if I would start a company that helps other companies get their message, their vision into the world, we could reach way more people than just doing something myself. So in February this year my friend and I started a Media Agency. With which of course our goal is to help companies grow that better the world. Step by step our agency is getting more opportunities to help amazing companies like psychologist's, coaches, new Fitness and health companies that help thousands of people with a unique approach. This work is very grateful but also time consuming which my made decide to delay my climbing dream to next year. So instead of climbing the Ama Dablam this year. I will be climbing it next year. For me this choice was really hard because I have been training and living up to this moment for more than a year. So for now I will stick to the philosophy: The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory! For those are going to do something fun this weekend, ENJOY! For those who have to work or keep pursuing their dreams, Have FUN TOO and ENJOY! Cheers from Saturday’s office✌ #life #dreams #purpose #fun #pain #hero #grandpa #saturday #office
Back to the box. Working out is one of the best ways to release, after a rough weekend with a lot of emotions. Because when you are working as hard as you can physically, there isn't time or energy left to spend mentally or emotionally. Love it. #morningworkout #wednesday #crossfit #Workout #love #wod #run #back
After searching for weeks, thanks to the dairy my mum wrote for me and the love and support of my girl I found my inner strength. I was on an inner journey, looking for that place of rest inside myself where I can come back to restore and renew myself. After reading the dairy and feeling inside, the following started to dawn on me... Realizing that my parents and all those other people did so much and were already taking care of me even when I wasn't there yet, makes me feel more grateful then I ever felt. Being alive is the greatest gift we have so I say let’s make the most out of it. #innerstrength #grateful #gift #enjoy #dairy #support #upanddown #sun
Yesterday's morning run. I was a bit of lucky that there were a lot of clouds so it wasn't as hot as the other days. Almost time to go home and go back training again. It was an amazing holiday but I have to say I'm also happy to go back to my normal routine. #sun #run #grancanaria #yesterday #morningworkout #training #home
Yesterday we went on the first submarine trip of our life. This was an amazing experience at which we saw hundreds of beautiful fishes. I wish the sea at home would be as clear as it is here. The view even stays good at 20 meters below the surface, as you can see on the photo. #submarine #fish #sea #grancanaria #holiday #newexperience #dive
After a couple of days relaxing and exploring we have seen amazing places. Yesterday we went to Roque Nublo (one of the highest points) on the Island. As you can see on the picture, something magical happened there... Gran Canaria really is an amazing place. #grancanaria #fun #magic #upsidedown #handstand #mountain #view #hike #explore #amazing
Time for some time off! On our way for a week off fun, sun and exploring the island. We are going to the magical Gran Canaria. We will keep you updated about our explorations. #fun #fly #sun #grancanaria #explore #time #island #magic #excited
Storm is Coming! Run for your life. I went for a small recovery run and managed to get home just before the weather started to become less kind... Today I'm going to finish my training plan for the Ama Dablam. After it's going to be fun! #feelinggood #fun #amadablam #bestyearever #storm #run #recovery #weather
THROWBACK TIME, Two weeks ago on Saturday we summited the Gran Paradiso. When we were on the top I finally had my chance to do a handstand, or actually... There only was one 'big' platform of 3 by 3 meters surrounded by a fall of dozens of meters deep. So I asked my guide if it was alright to do a handstand. He thought I was crazy but if I really wanted to do it, why not:p So with a rope as back up I managed to do a handstand on the top of the Gran Paradiso (4061m). One of those moments I will never forget! Life ones, give all! #granparadiso #livingthedream #paradise #handstand #crazy #dreams #throwback #saturday #crazykid #expedition
Good morning 😉 Friday morning workout. What the ****! This didn't went as planned. Guess it's time for a real long break. Not only physically but also mentally. Still it was a fun training and it is gonna be an even better beautiful Friday 😎 Pick the day! #picktheday #friday #goodmorning #wod #crossfit #workout #fun
Back at the box. Heavy training with some heavy lifts. I could feel that my body wasn't 100% fit after the adventure but I still managed to set a nice score. Happy Saturday 😎 #happy #satisfied #training #crossfit #Workout #powerboxamsterdam #Amsterdam #saturday #score
Almost home, Time to process emails and go back to work. No time to sleep, it's time to shine. It is crazy how strong I feel back at sea level. Having so much more air is like a paradise👌 #home #work #sleep #shine #paradise #sealevel #feelingstrong
No handstand at the top of the Mont Blanc but in the vallot annee (4362m). The last shelter hut before the top. The wind was blowing over 70 km/h and we couldn't see more than 5 meters ahead so we had to turn around. Tonight we will sleep at 3800m and tomorrow morning we will head down all the way back. #lifesjourney #handstand #montblanc #expedition #wind #vallotannee #crazy
Today we walked to the first hut (Refuge de Tete Rousse) at 3167 meters. Time for a little nap. Tomorrow around 4 in the morning is the big day to make it happen. Sadly two of our group won't be able to try, so we are with six left. I'm feeling good and can't wait to go. #excited #happy #nap #montblanc #bestyearever #good #hike #walk
Active recovery day. Climbing a few hours and the rest of the day we finally have some time to rest. If we're lucky we will take some extra sleep in advance for our Mont Blanc expedition. The weather forecast for our summit day shows a time cap that is big enough to give it a try. So far so good. Feeling great! #weather #climbing #lucky #good #great #montblanc #expedition
This morning we reached the top of the Gran Paradiso around 7.30 in the morning. After a few hours of sleep we started in the dark at 3.30. First mountain and first successful summit in the pocket. I can't describe how good it feels to share a dream with others and together making the dream become real. 1 down, 1 to go! #granparadiso #summit #mountainexpedition #dreams #freedom #mountain #together
Today we went to the Mer de Glace. Mer de Glace is French for See of ice. It is hard to imagine that this ice used to be two hundred meters higher. As amazing as it felt walking on meters thick ice it also made me realize that our environment really is going wrong! It almost feels guilty to do a trip like this. Still I have to admit I can't wait to go for our next mountain. #environment #ice #merdeglace #seeofice #guilty #mountain #expedition
Handstand practice #1 2.552 m top. We walked 7 hours made 1.500 altitude meters. Haven't felt so good since a long while. I which I could share this experience in life with a lot of you! #handstand #altitude #goodlife #experience #top #peak
First top reached. In 2 hours 20 minutes From 1030 to 2152m. Let's go to the next. Amazing first day to acclimatize. Enjoying the view and the weather. #sun #climb #walk #mountain #top #weather #bestyearever #dreams
Touch down! Having dinner with the view on our challenge that lies ahead. Time for some sleep. Tomorrow, we will walk around and explore some of the area around. Exited 🤑🤑🤑 #exited #fun #view #montblanc #touchdown #area #explore #dinner
On the road again. We left at 5 a.m. Let's see how late we will arrive in Chamonix. #travel #ontheroad #early #morning
Finally after months of preparation and training it is time to shine. We will arrive tuesday evening and start our acclimatization. Thanks to the work of Julian Velders we are able to show a short recap of some of the training. Check out www.rawvision.nl for more of his work. #vision #training #trailer #sports #dream #preparation #video #climbing #crazy #rawvision #bestyearever
Pfff... Too many days of sleeping too less in a row. Time for some sleep and recovery. Probably working 24/7 isn't the ideal preparation for my first expedition, but like Steve Jobs said "Stay hungry. Stay foolish" Only 4 days away🏔🏔🏔🏔🏔 Good morning and have a nice day😉 #expedition #Amsterdam #crossfit #sleep #pff #hungry #foolish #recovery #work #goodmorning #quote
Meeting with the grand Master himself. Arnold Coster, he climbed Mountains all over the world and for over a decade he organises climbing expeditions all over the world. He is the one that is guiding me behind the scenes. Learning from the best makes life a lot easier. #grandmaster #expert #meeting #climbing #preparation #expedition #learning #bestyearever
