Recently read an article on Kenton Cool who to give a Wikipedia background is – an English mountaineer, born July 30, 1973, Alpinist and IFMGA mountain guide. He is one of Britain’s leading alpine climbers and he has successfully climbed Mount Everest twelve times, including leading Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ 2008 and 2009 Expeditions. He has completed 21 successful expeditions in the Greater Ranges. In 2011 he successfully made the first 3G call at the summit of Mount Everest and the first social media update at the summit of Mount Everest. In 2013, he and his climbing partner became the first people to traverse Nuptse, Everest and Lhotse in a single expedition without returning to base camp
Something he said about the final climb to the summit was something I thought sums up a philosophy that is needed when we are struggling to rise above certain situations that often seem hopeless, where we just want to give up.
‘One foot in front of the other’ fused with old school character traits and desire is still one of the best fundamental combos out there in my opinion.
