Who Are We?

We are Paul, Fiona, Bianca and Benjamin Adler.

This website was inspired because many years ago, we (Paul and Fiona) undertook some big mountaineering challenges – and we blogged about them as we went. We’ve recently consolidated these separate blogs so that they’re all on this website (as a record of those times for us!).

We’re now lucky to have our two gorgeous children – Bianca and Benjamin – and live a relatively normal life. A couple of years ago, we all moved from Australia to France and we’re enjoying learning a new language and exploring this beautiful area. (If you’re coming over, here’s some things to do in Annecy.)

Over the years, we’ve started and run several different business ventures – our current projects are explained here too.

Our Current Projects

Personal Productivity Tool

Actioned.com

Fiona is building a new productivity tool for individuals and teams. Based on her experience managing teams and experimenting with probably hundreds of different productivity apps, Actioned.com is a new way to help people get more of the important things done.

Kids Projects

Bianca and Benjamin are only young but they’re already showing an interest in creating things online. So we thought this would be a great place to put them!

Thuraya Recharge

ThurayaRecharge.com is a business we run which allows Thuraya Satellite Phone users to recharge their phones from anywhere. When climbing Everest, we came to realise how difficult it was to recharge a Thuraya Satellite Phone.

Living in France

In 2015, we moved our family over to France to experience a new place and a new way of living. It had been a rough plan of ours to move to Europe when our kids were in the primary school years, and once I (Fiona) sold the business I’d been working on, we realised we had the perfect opportunity to go.

Mountaineering

Paul and Fiona began climbing when we were 19 and took various trips to tackle some big mountains. We documented our last 3 summits with daily blogs - which you can access below. We've also included a gallery with our best photos from Everest...

Everest Photos

We’ve put here a collection of our best photos from both of our trips to Mt Everest. These include photos of the trek to Everest basecamp, climbing photos, and lots of beautiful landscapes.

Paul’s Climb of Mt Everest (2007)

In 2007, Paul returned to climb Mt Everest after missing out on reaching the summit by 100 metres the previous year. On 23 May 2007, exactly a year to the day later, he reached the summit.

Fiona & Paul’s Climb of Mt Everest (2006)

In 2006, Fiona and Paul tackled their long-term goal of climbing Mt Everest. It was a huge adventure, but not everything went to plan – with Fiona reaching the summit but Paul missing out.

Fiona & Paul’s Climb of Khan Tengri (2004)

By 2004, we’d decided to tackle Mt Everest, but first needed some more technical climbing experience. We found this on Khan Tengri – the highest peak in Kazakhstan – plus very cold temperatures.
