In this episode, a professional climber breaks down the harsh realities of high-altitude mountaineering — and why the summit is only half the battle.
He explains how climbing is often more mental than physical, with the brain’s survival instinct constantly urging you to turn back. At extreme altitude, thinking becomes distorted, energy disappears, and even simple decisions can become dangerous. Many climbers don’t fail on the way up — they fail on the way down.
We dive into why the descent is where most accidents happen, how exhaustion and altitude sickness take over, and what really happens when the body and mind begin to shut down. From short, intentional breaks to forced eating, fixed ropes, Sherpa guidance, and the realities of rescue at extreme elevations, this conversation reveals what climbing demands — and what it takes away.
This is an honest look at risk, discipline, fear, and survival in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.
