I learned so many things on my 40 day expedition in Tibet climbing Everest/Chomolungma. Every step of the journey was hard – from fundraising, to packing, to getting there and then the climbing. On this day, climbing to camp 1 at 23,000’/7,000m, I had to remember not to waste precious mental energy thinking about the “shouda woulda coulda,” and to be happy where I was. It’s a lesson I’m continuing to practice as I rehab my ACL after surgery: finding happiness and satisfaction in the present moment.Thank you so much for all the positive messages and support. I can’t wait to re-edit the Rylo video where I tore my ACL with the ending of being on the summit of Everest! @rylo #StoriesThatMove
