In this episode we talk with Dr. Tracee Metcalfe about:
Dr. Tracee Metcalfe is a distinguished internal medicine physician and an accomplished high-altitude mountaineer. She has achieved the extraordinary feat of summiting all fourteen of the world’s peaks exceeding 8,000 meters, including Annapurna, K2, and Nanga Parbat. Born in Southern California, her passion for climbing was sparked after moving to Colorado, where she immersed herself in the state’s renowned 14,000-foot peaks.
Her medical career became intertwined with her love for the mountains during her time with the National Park Service on Denali, Alaska, where she provided medical assistance and participated in rescue operations. This experience paved the way for her role as an expedition doctor on major Himalayan peaks such as Manaslu, Everest, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.
Dr. Metcalfe is known for sharing insights into overcoming personal challenges and empowering women through mountaineering-based leadership training and community service. Her journey highlights the intersections of medicine, mountaineering, and mentorship, and she has made significant contributions to both the medical field and the climbing community
