Its simple really, put one foot in front of another :)

Russel Brice the expedition Leader briefing before the summit attempt:
"71 days for a 10 day climb, its pretty crazy a stupid game.Remember the mountain will stay here, we are mere mortals. The sherpas have life too, they have families and its not their job to die alongside you because of your ambitions. If I see, that thats gonna happen I am gonna call the sherpas away, will deal with that in the court later and you will die.Its not their job to die for you.Lets give it our best shot and lets be safe, Good Luck."

Lot of fitness that people bring is Mental Fitness. just get used to sufferring.

From North Col 23000 ft its a 4 day climb to the summit.Camp 2 the next pit stop is at 24500 ft. Solar radiation is brutal in thin air, climbers who breathe with their jaws open can sunburn the roof of their mouths. People who have lost their lives on Everest are still out there somewhere on the mountain. Its just too difficult to recover the bodies. I don't think they would complain, they died chasing their dreams and Everest as the final resting place is kind of romantic.

Whiteout : When unbroken snow falls from an overcast sky,unto snow covered ground its called the whiteout. On this night a Checz climber died after a fall on the south side. So far 4 sherpas and one climber since the start of the climbing season.

Mark Ingles (the double amputee) : "I am not equal to the other climbers but I just need to be equal to the mountain".

How can you turn back, its your dream, how can you turn back on your dream ? The price may be your life but you cant turn back, I don't think I can. But as Bret put it philosophically he reached the top of his mountain , its not Everest but he pushed himself to the limit and he is secure with it, fair enough I would say.

When You hear the statements above that singular dialogue from the movie Matrix rings in your head. You ask yourself which one is true, should I believe or shall I loose faith. Its a choice or is it ?
