Sending good vibes to my friends @carla.perez.ec, @estebantopomena and @adrianballinger as they are on K2 and heading for the summit tonight. Carla, pictured here, is the first South American woman to climb Everest/Chomolungma without oxygen and is attempting K2 without oxygen. She guided me to the summit of Everest, and I was so delighted to share the mountain and the summit with her! I love climbing with people of all genders, but there’s a special place in my heart for the energy women bring to the mountains. Having a female guide on our trip changed the dynamics and reinforced how important it is to have women in positions of leadership! I’m sending all the best wishes and prayers for good weather and safe passage. Go team! #climbforequality
