Early history
Wim has been running barefooted through the snow since he was a teenager. From an early age he stunned the world with his abilities.
In 2007 he attempted a climb of the most dangerous mountain in the world, Mt Everest, wearing nothing but a modest pair of shorts and sandals.
Unfortunately he had to turn back once he reached 24,300 feet (7,400 m) after suffering frostbite in his foot.
He was only 5000 feet away from the summit.
Wim Hof’s Super Power
Wim is an autodidact (self taught/educated) and learned to control his body temperature with the power of his mind.
Thanks to this mind training, he has developed an amazing ability to not only survive better than most in the cold, he can do this wearing ridiculously few clothes.
He has been able to achieve astounding feats of endurance under extreme cold temperatures.
He also the master of coolness in very dangerous situations.
Hence the name the “Iceman”.

He talks about how the mind controls these states of the body. Wim is adamant that anyone can start to learn these seemingly super human powers, but they have to be able to harness the powers of their mind.
Genetic or Learned Super Power?
