Mountain Professionals: Everest Summit Push On

Pythom Dispatch Feed

(Mountain Professionals) “You can drive yourself crazy as the expedition leader by pouring over countless weather reports that seem to be in flux day to day, and some differing in opinion of what the future will hold.

So at some point, I have learned, that you must take a step back and return to being a mountaineer, draw upon the important weather forecasts yes, but also just observe and actually go climbing. We have the ability to pause or speed up once we are higher on the mountain, and some times you got to go get after it.” Ryan Waters Dispatch
