A man skids down a slope of loose rock, half-jogging, half-sliding, until he lands at the bottom of a quarry. He laughs, claps his hands, pats his stomach. “I’ve got an abdomen,” he grins, “but it’s going to go away.”
He stoops, grabs a rock the size of a basketball, and heaves it backwards over his head. The force throws him off balance so he scrambles over the scree, grabs it, and throws it again. Sisyphus without a hill.
This is Nimsdal Purja. A man setting out to climb all 14 of the world’s ‘death-zone’ mountains in less than 7 months. The previous record was 8 years.
He called it Project Possible, because everyone said it wasn’t. And if you haven’t seen “14 Peaks” on Netflix, it’s a must-watch.
Most of us won’t be hurling boulders before breakfast, but we know that feeling of trying to move something forward and feeling like we’re just throwing some rocks around a quarry.
Business has its own quarries — spreadsheets, forecasts, dashboards - and most of them tell us what happened, rather than preparing us for what could.
That’s why we built RabbitHawk. We wanted to give teams a way to train like Nims. To use foresight - every throw, every outcome - to get closer to ambitious goals.
Nims couldn’t wait for perfect conditions. Or certainty. He just started throwing. Preparing for the climbs ahead. And that’s how his possible started.
