It is the world\u2019s first self-sustained, high-altitude skill and endurance at such glaciated and snow-bound terrains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is modelled on the lines of the \u2018Ironman triathlon\u2019 a long-distance triathlon challenge in Europe which tests an individual\u2019s grit and endurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea behind Soul of Steel is the pooling of skill sets and creating a challenge that will unlock the human ability to survive, stabilize and thrive in high-altitude areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge opened the domain of niche military skills to an average person, who wishes to challenge their physical and psychological limits<\/span><\/p>\n
