It’s so incredible to see men’s and women’s #mountainbike races taking place in #Afghanistan this week!

We know that not many people know about #sports in Afghanistan - so @Haus_of_Hiatus made us this to start changing the narrative.

All the images feature #Afghan #athletes practicing their beloved #sport in #Afghanistan.

Think you know #Afghanistan? Think again..

We made this print style design of #Afghan #skier and #mountaineer Alishah Farhang to honour such an inspiring individual.

Alishah is half of the country’s national #ski team and representing the country at the next #Winter #Olympics.

#WORLDFIRST:

A double above-the-knee #amputee has stood atop the mighty #Matterhorn mountain.

This is so fantastic - huge respect and congratulations to everyone involved! 🙌

@hstadventures #Climb2Recovery

[Blesma @Blesma]

He's done it! 💪🎉

After two previous attempts to master the mountain failed, Neil Heritage has become the world's first double above knee amputee to climb the #Matterhorn! This is pure determination.

Congratulations to Neil and the other climbers with #Climb2Recovery

We’re gearing up for the first ‘Tales of Her #Adventure’ virtual event with 3 incredible #female speakers!

The event is a #fundraiser for @Drop_and_ride - a youth cycling team that provides safe spaces for other young adults to ride in #Kabul #Afghanistan.

Love this surreal @haus_of_hiatus design of a previous Tales of Adventure speaker @Lucysheps on a polar expedition a few years ago!

@matt_timblin @Al_Humphreys We did so in the early days, until we started feeling and seeing ‘Zoom-Fatigue’...

[The Hiatus Project @hiatus_proj]

A mixed group of #Afghan climbers will be setting off soon to summit the mighty #Noshaq #mountain - a 7492m peak and highest in #Afghanistan!

Please help them to raise funds to get the 10 #climbers (4 are women!) to the summit 🙏
