Michael Woods is a profoundly Deaf mountaineer who’s faced more challenges than most – and climbed over them, literally. From growing up with bullying and feeling left out, to battling mental health struggles and isolation, Michael’s story is raw, real, and deeply inspiring.
Now training to become the first Deaf person from the UK and Europe to summit Mount Everest, Michael shares how the mountains helped him find purpose, confidence, and strength.
