A few days back I shared a personal video of a young climber’s attempt to summit Mt. Everest during the 2019 season. That video showed someone who wasn’t ready to be on the mountain and accept the challenges that come along with it. This video is the opposite, giving us an inside look at American climber Woody Hartman’s attempt on the world’s highest peak. The clip takes us through Hartman’s training and preparation, travel to Nepal, arrival in Base Camp, and on up the mountain. Spoiler alert, he does manage to reach the top, providing some inspiring and epic views along the way.
