Crossing the Khumbu Icefall, my #Everest teammate said things like “these ladders sure are rickety, but at least they’re swinging in the breeze” 😅 Or “It sure is cold out here, but at least we’re lost.” His ‘positive pessimisms’ brought #humor + perspective to a hard situation.
Experience our 2001 #Everest expedition: http://bit.ly/everest-experience Full videos take you step by step up the mountain with us. Take look, and let me know your ‘positive pessimisms’ in the comments. I’d love to hear how everyone is getting by these days!
