Quotes From This Episode

• "We were aligned with the objective of being the first-ever Latin American team to climb K2 via the 'high route' and survive."
• "There’s a big difference between teams that have a soul, have a purpose, who are more generous and collaborative versus teams who are selfish and misaligned."
• On his dissertation work - "It's not that much different from mountaineering. You empower people, you have devil’s advocate, you have small teams...you fight hard on the problems and you are soft on the people."
