Sample Book Insights: #1 The climb up Lhotse was terrifying, but I was able to get over it and focus on the ropes. They turned into velvet ropes that led me toward a mysterious, exclusive nightclub. #2 I have learned to make do with the jumar, which is an extension of me. I respect the jumar and bow to it every time I feel its steel teeth bite down on rope. #3 At elevations like this, time expands and contracts.
We're higher than most birds will ever fly. I wonder if birds get obsessed with height like we do. #4 Lhotse is the final obstacle before Camp 3, where our oxygen tanks are waiting. Above 24, 000 feet, the climb is a race against diminishing oxygen. This high, we rest but we don't recover. We are deteriorating.
