I believe that is important to give the maximum of information regarding our attempts in the mountains, in this case, I've put at disposition everything I have and that I made following the way I want to approach mountains.

I needed to stop and eat and have diarrhea, but it was fun and always beautiful with great views.

Of course, when you are suffering it's not a pleasure moment but if you want to achieve something to see who you are, to explore yourself, you need to go close to your limits, the satisfaction comes from the whole process, not just the results or the suffering itself.

The second time I was feeling better, i had no stomach problems and the weather was much nicer.

Up there you cannot think a lot, everything is going slow in the brain, the decisions are mostly like, 'Is this going to kill me?' If it's yes, you go down, if not you continue. In the mountains you need to be rational. Stress is just a waste of energy. The physical suffering is something you know will come so it's not really a question. You need to fight to survive. You can't abandon yourself because then you die.

What was cool was the challenge was to start from the last village and go to the summit.

It was an incredible feeling to be for the first time on the summit of Everest in the middle of the night with no one around. It was a lifetime moment.
