Everest: Its Go Time
22 May, 10 – 01:24 (10:24pm PST)
I am preparing to leave for my summit push in 5 hrs. There is a phrase that my friend gave me that I think is appropriate for the climb.
“Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved, but for the patience to win my freedom.” Shantideva
Footage of Chad climbing was provided by Sam Bricker. Keep checking back for more as we upload additional videos from Sam’s trip to Everest.
