Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Today is my Mt. Everest Summit Anniversary!

The whole Everest thing is just fascinating and amazing to me. I have read so many books and watched every documentary there is on the subject. I am in awe of all of you that have successfully acomplished what is probably the most difficult physical,mental and emotional activity there is.The ice falls just scare the bejeesus out of me.Can't imagine having already spent almost every ounce of mental and physical energy one has,running on fumes, and come back to the ice falls and see one of the ladders you were going to cross over on lying in a crevice. Then have to jump over the gap. Are you kidding me?Cindy you are one of my heros.
