The Power of the Mountain | Julio Soto | TEDxFrutillar

A cancer-related amputation at the age of nine changed Julio Soto’s life forever. Decades later, it was that same story that led him to climb Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, on one leg with the help of two crutches. In this deeply personal talk, Julio shares his journey of resilience, blending his own experiences with insights from neuroscience. He reveals that resilience is not a gift or mere optimism, but a biological process that can be cultivated, whereby the brain’s chemistry transforms pain into purpose. 'Mountain Without Limits' is an invitation to reconnect with what truly matters: our bodies, nature, and the simple act of being alive. Julio Soto is a cancer survivor and passionate mountaineer who has transformed extreme challenges into inspiration for others. In January 2025, he reached the summit of Aconcagua, proving that life offers second chances and that mountains, both real and metaphorical, are meant to be conquered. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
