We get by with a little help from our friends. One of my favorite parts of my Cho Oyu trip was seeing the yaks. The Himalayan yaks are impressive creatives. Both male and female yaks have horns. They grunt instead of moo. They are skillful mountain climbers and can navigate long stretches of talus at extremely high altitudes. As I start training for a new set of goals in the mountains, the yak will continue to serve as my inspiration. When it gets hard, channel your inner yak.
