Summary

Klaus Yohannes is an athlete, fighter, poet and founder of the Black Vikings, a way of life built on the embracement of struggle and the mastery of suffering.

He is on a mission to complete what you call “The seven sagas”, which are physical challenges meant to test the mind and the soul.

On April 14th, the day before Good Friday, he attempted the “Crucification Saga” that nearly ended his life, with him carrying a 60kg wooden railway sleeper, across your back, while barefoot and bare chested, for 7.2 miles through central London.
