During a recent discussion with Arman Tsarukyan, Adin Ross, and N3on, Jiri Prochazka recounted some of his most daring adventures. The Czech fighter revealed a period where he spent ten days alone in the mountains for training purposes. He confessed that in the past, his expeditions and treks were often impulsive, undertaken solo and with minimal planning.
Prochazka described his approach: “I went to the mountain. The longest I was there was one and a half weeks. 10 days… You just go. You just take your bag. Take your stuff … And then you have to survive. I wanted to find some good place and be there and train and just be with myself, and that’s all. Sometimes you just [look at the mountain and plan to climb it], and then you realize, man, I’m in a fu*king deadly situation, and I don’t know how to go down or how to survive. So I put myself many times in these fu*king situations.”
However, after numerous solo expeditions and confronting dangerous situations, Prochazka stated that he now prefers a more structured approach. He opts to join groups and commence his climbs from a base camp, utilizing proper guides and equipment.
He explained his shift in strategy: “That’s why I started to take it more professionally. If I go somewhere, I have a professional base and somebody who really knows [everything about mountains].”

Tsarukyan’s direct counsel was: “Don’t do Mount Everest.”
Despite the warning, Prochazka, known for his relentless pursuit of limits, expressed his unwavering determination to climb the world’s highest peak someday.
His response was clear: “I will [climb Mt. Everest].”
