Nitibha Kaul, a 32-year-old lifestyle and beauty influencer, recently captured attention by climbing Mt Snezka in Poland wearing only shorts and a sports bra — all in freezing temperatures. But this wasn’t a reckless stunt; it was part of a global Wim Hof Method expedition focused on breathwork, cold exposure, and mental toughness.
The Challenge: Climbing Mt Snezka Half-Naked in Sub-Zero Temperatures
