Climbed Roys Peak yesterday. 5,177 feet, solo. No training, just stubborn legs and a heavy heart. This one’s for my family, for the boys back home who used to talk about snow-covered mountains but never got the chance to see them. For those quietly fighting their minds every day. And for Hazwan Izzat (1985–2025) — brother, friend, soul we lost too soon. I thought of you the whole way up. It wasn’t Everest. But it hurt. And it mattered. #rudyproject #royspeak #thenorthface #realnz #teanau #newzealand #nz #nzsouthisland
