I'm watching film of the blind man that climbed Everest last year. I've climbed a bunch in my life and I can't imagine the amount of work it takes to go up that'n. Nice guy, about the weather, "Most days the summit is in the Jet Stream", how big is the, "summit is about the size of a two car garage", technical difficulty, "super steep progressively steeper stuff", danger, "it doesn't matter what side you fall off", how people perceive him, "I felt like a Jamaican Bobsledder", personal hygiene, "I could identify my climbing partners by their smell", about mountains, "they give you the worst stuff at the very last", about his wedding, "it was a Boulder wedding, kind of earthy-crunchy."
