My World: Anatomy of a climb..close up!!

We want to go here..

It has been a very hard journey so far and has taken days. We stopped to acclimatize at each significant ascent.
At night we sleep low. Remember what I said..Climb high, sleep low.

It is hard on the heart, the lungs, the body. Above all it is hard on the spirit. Each meter seems a long long way off.

Take a look. What is under the ice and snow. Look at the sides of the mountains; is there a chance of an
avalanche. Sheer determination pushes me on. The body gave up long time ago.

A little more, says the voice. Take a look at down. Straight. Many many more rocks to navigate. Why?
Because it is there. I am alive. I want to see how far I can go.

There is no success or failure. It is you against yourself. Only you know your success or failure.
There is no one to impress or judge.

Hi Ayesha and Fahim,

I don't think I'll ever go that close to those mountains but your spirit is an inspiring example to bring into everyday life.

Regards,

Ruben
