“Standing at our summit of 15,600 feet was such an amazing feeling, but it is as nothing, to the pride and joy we all felt, when we remembered that we had done it as a team. Standing on our summit was nothing like anything I have experienced my whole life, but it is minimal, compared to the friends I have made, the memories I have, and the overwhelming sense of achievement that I have done something to truly be proud of.”
