There are so many lessons to be learned from mountaineering! This week we climbed Illiniza Norte and Cotopaxi in Ecuador, which was an awesome opportunity to exercise teamwork in an uncomfortable environment, and to challenge ourselves both physically and mentally.

We definitely grew as a crew this week, not only reaching personal altitude records, but learning how we each respond to stress, how we acclimate to low-pressure environments, and how to support each other to achieve our objectives. I am so inspired by this crew!
