EveretteKrawczyk's Guestbook

I don't know what being an Everest guide means. I am a coach, not a guide.

What we can do now is contribute to a clearer understanding of what happened that day on Everest in the hope that the lessons to be learned will reduce the risk for others who, like us, take on the challenge of the mountains.

I explained I wanted to descend as quickly as possible to camp IV in order to warm myself and gather a supply of hot drink and oxygen in the event I might need to go back up the mountain to assist descending climbers.

People respected my experience, they hire me, they pay me what I am worth to coach their team.

I respect Everest very much.
