Oli has cycled across two of seven continents and hopes to become the first Brit to achieve his dream
A dad from Lancashire is one step closer to achieving his dream - one that most of us would never do in a lifetime.
It's also known as one of the world's coldest mountains, with a subarctic location at 63 degrees north latitude and a summit regularly reaching -40 degrees. Although this sounds difficult already, 33-year-old Oli summited Mount Denali from the very bottom, traversing a mountain range, fording freezing rivers and several dangerous glacial and crevasse fields.
Strikingly, the day before Oli reached the summit of 20,000 ft, a solo climber died whilst trying to reach the top and another climber was taken off the mountain with a broken leg. Travelling as a group of four, dad-of-two Oli faced crevasse fields which are 1,000 metres deep and covered by a thin blanket of snow.
Not to have a day without trouble, the team were also chased by wild bears and found a mousse carcass that had been savaged by the animals close to their camp one morning. Having returned to Britain and settled into home life with his wife and two small children, Oli has achieved something most people could never dream of, but he's not stopping there.
