Why the Descent is More Dangerous

Getting to the summit...... is optional. Getting back down safely is mandatory. The problem is there's

also this huge sorta catecholamine surge. People are like, "I did it. I've achieved my

goal." You think you've won the game, but you haven't. You have to get

all the way back down. All they're thinking about is going home. They're not thinking

about putting one foot i- in front of the other. They haven't been eating and drinking,

and they come down and they can fall off. And it is a long way.

And people make big decisions that are wrong. Like, people will come

down a ridge and they're supposed to go to the left and they'll go to the right.
