In mountain sports, a rope team is a group of mountaineers or climbers who are linked together by a safety rope to protect individual members of the group from falling. Inspired by teamwork and communication Erik and the founders of No Barriers,  adopted this methodology in the  No Barriers Life Elements as a term to surround yourself with people who will support you through life’s journey.

Using this mindset, What’s Your Everest brings individuals of all abilities together to push, pull, and support each in their efforts to reach their own personal Everest. Participants take this life-changing experience back home and are inspired to create their own rope teams to guide them through life’s challenges.
