Jiri Prochazka's Perilous Mountain Exploits and Arman Tsarukyan's Everest Caution
During a recent discussion, Jiri Prochazka shared details of his past extreme adventures, revealing that he once spent ten days alone in the mountains for training. The Czech fighter admitted that his earlier expeditions were often impulsive, unplanned, and undertaken solo.
He described these solo trips as survival experiences, explaining, "The longest I was there was one and a half weeks, 10 days… You just go, 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." He acknowledged the inherent dangers, stating, "Sometimes you just [look at the mountain and plan to climb it], and then you realize, man, I’m in a deadly situation, and I don’t know how to go down or how to survive. So I put myself many times in these situations."
Having faced numerous perilous situations during his solo endeavors, Prochazka now adopts a more professional approach, preferring group expeditions that start from a base camp with experienced guides and appropriate gear. He elaborated, "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]."

Despite the warning, Prochazka, known for his relentless pursuit of challenges, remains determined to conquer the world's highest peak someday, asserting, "I will [climb Mt. Everest]."
