This photo is from my very first expedition. I had just started as a “maybe” on The North Face #tnfathleteteam.

It was my first time ever flying in a 🚁, my first time ever 🏕 in the ❄️ and my first time at about 14,000 feet. It was intense and it changed the trajectory of my life.

I strongly feel that we had to capitalize on that final day of good weather or we wouldn’t have found success. We had a tiny window, and we capitalized on it. Thanks to Jim Morrison's incredible perseverance and motivation, he earned the respect of the Sherpa and we became a unified team.

I think if Nick Kalisz and Dutch Simpson hadn’t been so seriously stoked, motivated and grateful throughout the entire trip, our inspiration might have fallen short of the goal. Also, two of the Sherpa, Ila and Urken, summited Lhotse for their first time, and seeing how entirely stoked they were for their own accomplishment added so much energy to our team as a whole.

Alas, while this was an insane amount of hard work, every little thing needed to go just right and, sometimes, those things came from unexpected places. At the end of the day, it paid off and we skied one of the most amazing lines of my life.

So that’s my story of our Lhotse expedition from 2018. I know it was a little long…but I wanted to give more insight into the ins and outs of the trip. If you’d like to go back and read the full story again, just click on #Lhotse2018Story to read every post! Thanks for following along 😄 The North Face #Futurelight ... See MoreSee Less
