What mountaineers can teach us about isolation
Reading now: 605

In October, Mick Fowler and Victor Saunders sat in a tent, awaiting a window of good weather to begin their climb up the Chombu in north Sikkim.
Things had been no different in their first attempt before the monsoon. That time, bogged down by incessant rain for two weeks, they had returned home to England without even setting foot on the Chombu.
In October, they put into practice their decades of climbing experience: sitting tight in their shelter. After 20 restless days over the two trips in a tent, they got their first opportunity to climb the peak.
