Incidents began occurring, avalanches threatening every step, whiteouts making us wait as routes hide for days, and fights exploding between us, other climbers and sherpas. Nonetheless, we pushed for the summit. I remember the day we finally touched the summit, but I don’t remember the view, only the breathtaking sensation of being happy, blessed, and at the top of the…
