In 2016 Matt Dawson, the Creator and Founder of Dawson’s Peak, was successful by most people’s standards but he still felt an unshakeable sense of unhappiness and lack of fulfillment. He became increasingly disheartened because of his lack of a greater purpose.
The best way he knew to bring about dramatic change was to intentionally put himself into uncomfortable situations and strive to push his own limits. With no previous climbing experience, he climbed some of the most extreme mountains in the world including Mt. Everest, Kala Patthar, Gokyo Ri and Cho La Pass.
Spending his days hiking, reading and writing, he discovered the introspective/meditative elements of being in nature, hiking and climbing. It was then he was hit with the inspiration for Dawson’s Peak, a public charity which looks to stage multiple global expeditions meant to inspire people by pushing the boundaries of peak human potential, and he discovered his life’s purpose.
