Joe Evermore December 1, 2025 Climbing the Matterhorn with son who is the youngest person to climb

"Welcome back to All the Dreamers, the show where we celebrate extraordinary journeys of faith, resilience, and adventure. Today’s guest embodies all three. We’re joined by Joe Evermore, a man whose deep faith in God guides not only his life but also his adventures in the great outdoors.

Joe’s story is inseparable from that of his son, Sam Evermore, who at just 11 years old achieved a remarkable milestone—becoming the youngest American to reach the summit of a 4,692-foot mountain. This victory came after a setback in 2024, when Joe and Sam attempted to climb the Matterhorn but were forced to turn back due to severe weather.

Sam’s perseverance, alongside his father’s unwavering support, has now become a powerful testament to what can happen when fathers and sons dare to dream big. As Sam told ABC News, he hopes their journey inspires families everywhere to attempt the impossible.

And with an upcoming film chronicling their adventures, Joe and Sam’s story is only beginning to reach the world. Today, Joe joins us to share his faith, his bond with his son, and the lessons learned from mountains both literal and spiritual.

So settle in—this is a conversation about courage, family, and the dreams that push us higher."
