Zoe Hart and her husband, Maxime Turgeon, have endured a lot since they met. The two alpinists have summited extremely tall and technical peaks, spent long, cold nights on the sides of mountain cliffs, and traveled the world in search of alpine adventure. For a long time, theyve practiced what they jokingly call disaster style alpinism.
Now, theyre learning disaster-style parenting. And Patagonia is making a short film series about it.
The first episode of Patagonias Parenting: Disaster Style dropped on YouTube on June 18. It follows the Hart–Turgeons as they show their kids, Mathias and Mika, the ropes of adventure. And their lessons go beyond the crag — theyre hoping to raise their children with the same love for the mountain adventure that brought them together in the first place.
Check out Patagonias YouTube channel for subsequent episodes of Parenting: Disaster Style in the coming weeks.
Runtime: 8:26 minutes
