HOW DOES IT FEEL? WHAT DO YOU FEEL ON THE SUMMIT?
Joy, though not one that makes you want to jump. But you have a sense of a great effort made, and dangers overcome, like crevasses and icy cornices. And the place you craved for, the summit, may be smaller than one square metre and may not allow you to stay there for longer than a few seconds. But it is definitely a great experience. Perhaps even addictive – you want to experience it again. Euphoria is dangerous. Most of the accidents happen during descent. Everything has to be well-planned. You usually have to start a summit attempt before dawn, despite limited visibility, to have enough time for safe descent. The death toll in mountaineering is higher than in any other sport.
