His is a story worth telling! Solo on the summit.
We all seem to be celebrating landmark memories these days. Congrats to you and Peter!
Just finished reading Chapter 9, Peter’s account of his solo climb. Told in “Everest, The Testing Place” by John West, M.D. Congratulations to Peter!…. for such a hard effort that day forty-years ago! Mallory said it best: “If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won’t see why we go…What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy….That is what life means and what life is for.”
