Darby Allin says that Sting has tried to talk him out of climbing Mount Everest.
In April 2025, Darby Allin will attempt to make history, as he’ll try to become one of just a few thousand people to successfully climb Mount Everest.
Allin was originally set to climb the mountain earlier this year, but those plans came to a haunt after he broke his foot.
While chatting with Denise Salcedo for a new interview, Allin was asked if Sting has tried to talk him out of climbing Mount Everest.
"He’s tried but he knows that I really want to do it. He’s like, ‘Alright man, if you’re on a vision quest and you want to do something, go do it.’”
Allin went on to explain that climbing the mountain will be a humbling experience for him and something that will remind him of what he’s capable of.
"To me, climbing Mount Everest, there’s so many things that go into it. It’s a journey because when you’re climbing a mountain like that, you don’t have the energy to talk like we have right now, like we’re talking back and forth. You can’t waste that energy, so you’re just alone with your thoughts on this mountain for essentially two months. I feel like that’s a very humbling experience and I want to always dig down deep inside and remind myself of what I’m capable of and who I am. I’m very excited for that opportunity and very grateful that AEW is letting me do this in the middle of my career.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Allin commented on Sting predicting that he’ll win the AEW World Championship in 2025. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
