A LHO Adventure Documentary Screening: A life-changing journey of Tony Aoun

On Thursday, May 15, 2025, an exceptional documentary screening took place, shedding light on the remarkable journey of Tony Aoun, a climber who faced unimaginable challenges while attempting to summit Ama Dablam, the mother of all mountains.

Produced by Life Happens Outdoors, the documentary chronicles Tony’s inspiring climb to the summit at 6812m, and captures the pivotal moment when he sufferes a knee injury during his descent. Due to thin air and high altitude conditions, Tony’s evacuation had to be carried out with utmost precision. All non-essential weight had to be removed, which meant that Tony had to be airlifted alone by helicopter.

The climber’s return from the mountain marked a profound transformation in his life. The incredible experience, with all its difficulties, reshaped his perspective, leaving him forever changed and with a newfound sense of accomplishment.

At the conclusion of the screening, a Q&A session provided the audience with an opportunity to delve deep into the details of Tony’s life-altering adventure.

In the end, Tony thanked life happens outdoors for their support, which played an important role in his journey.
