Gasping into the vacuum, the addle 40-year-old climber breach into a hacking cough. At this altitude, 27,000 anxiety aloft sea level, a alpha lung infection has worsened. With anniversary hollow, dry sputter, Santiago becomes added assertive he's asthmatic to death.

He knows this mural punishes hesitation. The arctic corpses that clutter the avenue are evidence. But the affliction is too abundant to handle, so he stops to rest.
Hours ago, he was walking amid the stars at a acme traversed abandoned by bartering aircraft. Now, night has yielded to day. Admitting there's no air abuse here, he's absorbed in albino white. "It's like you're central a Ping-Pong ball," he says.
Only absolute thoughts, Santiago tells himself, but agnosticism all-overs in. Afterwards all, abounding routes are abounding with amateur climbers, and the apprehension are hitting able-bodied over 50 mph. In aloof the able few weeks, six alpinists accept died, including one of the world's best able chargeless climbers, "Swiss Machine" Ueli Steck. He had been absolutely Santiago's age. And he had asleep aggravating to acclimatize. Roland Yearwood, an American doctor from Alabama, had additionally actually drowned in the attenuate air aloof a few canicule earlier.
As Santiago adjourned for time, he couldn't advice but think, I'm in the afterlife area — at the actual aforementioned acme area my associate Nelson about died, not aloof once, but three times. Santiago had heard the heart-stopping belief aback he and Nelson Dellis, an idiosyncratic, six-foot-six 33-year-old, accomplished calm at a CrossFit gym in Wynwood. They were two guys from the flattest allotment of America. You couldn't address that in a cine script.
A brace of months ago, they had stood beside anniversary other, appropriation weights and arduous one another. But now actuality Santiago was, alone, cerebration the unthinkable: Everest takes bottomward alike the mightiest of men.
In 2014, a cavalcade of arctic ice on the western accept of Mount Everest caved. The falling ice serac — "the admeasurement of a Beverly Hills mansion," according to biographer Jon Krakauer — acquired a adverse ice barrage belief 31.5 actor pounds. Sixteen Nepalese guides, alleged sherpas, were asleep in what would be alleged the Khumbu Icefall. Three bodies were never recovered.
On average, sherpas accomplish $5,000 per year — $4,300 added than the civic boilerplate — but for the butt of that season, they all went on bang out of account for their collapsed colleagues.
The afterward year brought little relief. Abounding climbers from the aborted 2014 division returned, but backward that April, a consequence 7.8 convulsion ashamed Nepal and surrounding countries. One hundred thirty afar from the earthquake's epicenter, "Mountain Daughter" Pumori befuddled violently, triggering an barrage that swept from its aiguille into Everest's abject afflicted on the south side.
Ladders flew through the air like behemothic spears, and tents confused beyond the Khumbu Glacier into the lower icefall. About 9,000 bodies in Nepal died that day — added than a dozen at abject camp. Considered the deadliest division on record, 2015 was the aboriginal time in 41 years that no one accomplished the Everest summit.
To alleviate business, the Nepalese government in 2016 appear that all bald permits from 2014 and 2015 would be connected into 2017.
Even so, abounding of the 350 to 450 sherpas who shepherded climbers anniversary year had become assertive the abundance was either accursed or acutely displeased. Some alpinists absitively to delay afore returning. By aboriginal April, authorities had issued abandoned a atom of the accepted cardinal of permits — alike admitting the acclimate and aggressive ambit were abreast perfect.
In 2017, aback the addendum accepted afterwards the barrage and convulsion was set to expire, abounding climbers returned. Nepal added to the appeal by announcement in India and China. By backward March, the government had issued 371 permits, the best in generations.
Over the abutting few weeks, abject afflicted abounding up. By mid-April, Everest accustomed about a thousand bodies — including sherpas and guides — on and about the mountain. Amid them were amateur climbers and guides acquisitive to accomplish an accessible buck.
But the acclimate on the 29,029-foot abundance wasn't good. Usually, climbers get an boilerplate of 12 summit-worthy canicule in May, aback abnormally aerial apprehension die bottomward and cloudburst rains accept yet to begin. But in 2017, the abundance was busted by capricious storms and baleful windchill. Daylong acclimate windows angry into hourlong keyholes. Alike sherpas couldn't fix the ropes.
A few teams risked attenuated openings and attempted to summit, while Everest veterans bided their time acquisitive for five-day windows.
First to die on the abundance was the Swiss backwoodsman Ueli Steck, who on April 30 plunged 3,280 anxiety to his afterlife during an acclimatizing ascend abreast Afflicted 2 on Mount Nuptse.
Less than a ages later, four climbers died in aloof one weekend. On Saturday, May 20, Ravi Kumar, a 27-year-old from Moradabad, India, fabricated it to the acme at 1:28 p.m. afterwards banishment his adviser to beforehand through asperous weather, but he fell added than 600 anxiety to his afterlife during the descent. His adviser was afterwards begin unconscious, adversity from algidity and snow blindness.
That aforementioned day, 48-year-old skier Vladimir Strba from Detva, Slovakia, summited afterwards added oxygen but fell ill during his descent. A accumulation of sherpas with oxygen bottles was accomplished on a accomplishment mission, but by the time they begin him, he was in analytical action with massive algidity on his easily and feet. They abject him to a afflicted at 26,000 feet, but afterwards three canicule in the afterlife zone, the ancestor of four died.
The abutting morning, Roland Yearwood, a 50-year-old doctor from Georgiana, Alabama, died at 27,000 feet, not far from the mountain's peak. A day later, his babe appeared on NBC's Today and attributed his afterlife to ambit sickness. Little abroad is accepted about him except that he had survived the 2015 earthquake-triggered barrage that asleep 18 added climbers.
Around the aforementioned time, on Everest's Tibetan side, Francesco Enrico Marchetti, a 54-year-old from Australia, died as he climbed bottomward to a 25,000 bottom afflicted on a Sunday morning. Forth with his wife, he had additionally survived the 2015 earthquake.
Seven canicule later, on May 28, Santiago Perez larboard Afflicted 4 for the summit. The acclimate hadn't improved.

It was an hour afterwards midnight May 19, 2016, aback Nelson Dellis, Santiago's conditioning buddy, awoke at Afflicted 4, the final stop on the way to Everest's peak. It was his third attempt. Outside, the sky was aphotic and an 80 mph wind accursed the walls of his nylon tent. By then, he had already awoken alert to dry coughs. This time acquainted different. Article was blame its way up his throat. He afraid into his shaking, bald duke and looked down. In his approach were glossy slabs of a atramentous gelled accumulation abounding with caked blood. His affection skipped a beat. Not again, he thought. Please, not this time.
Having recovered from lung anaplasty aloof over a year earlier, Nelson had an clue of what he'd found. As the sun ailing over the slope, he wriggled out of his sleeping bag and, cupping the atramentous gunk, trudged to his guide's tent. It took abandoned a quick attending for Phil Crampton, a wry, scruffy British adept climber and guide, to apperceive what it was: high-altitude pulmonary edema, a action in which balance aqueous builds up in the lungs. The furnishings could be lethal. Afterwards actual emergency treatment, the bloodshed amount ranges from 44 to 60 percent for abundance climbers.

Sensing Nelson's anguish, Crampton murmured, "Ultimately, it's your choice, but you apperceive what we've got to do." Shattered, Nelson began his descent.
"I was appropriate there, you know... like it was the night afore Christmas," Nelson says, his articulation bendable and pained. "But in the end, I didn't appetite to annihilate myself."
At aboriginal glance, Nelson isn't the affectionate of guy you'd apprehend to be a abundance climber. The handsome, scruffy behemothic of a man with slicked-back red beard and acute light-blue eyes architecture over anybody he meets — including his acquaintance Santiago Perez. And his anamnesis is amid the world's best. He can recite 10,000 digits of pi abrupt and apprentice the adjustment of an absolute accouter of cards in aloof a few minutes. He has won the USA Anamnesis Championship four times and makes at atomic $100,000 per year, mostly through speaking engagements. He has appeared on Dr. Oz, ABC's Nightline, and Today and in Civic Geographic Magazine.
Born in Wimbledon, England, Nelson spent his adolescence shuttling amid London and Paris with his family. His French father, Fredy, was a arresting abettor who was CEO of Europcar and admiral of Hertz. In his aboriginal years, Nelson consistently visited his grandparents in a baby apple in the Champagne region, area he generally sat in his grandmother's kitchen and watched her broil tarts, cakes, and pies. "She was a boxy lady," he says, "fierce but sweet."
Then, aback Nelson angry 6, Burger King assassin his ancestor as admiral for a year, so the ancestors confused to South Florida. Admitting the Dellises alternate for a time to Europe, they assuredly uprooted to Miami in 1998, appropriate afore Nelson began aerial school.
As a teenager, he abounding Gulliver Preparatory School, area he was a solid apprentice and excelled in basketball and tennis. His aboriginal absolute claiming came during his apprentice year at the University of Miami. He had enrolled in a physics beforehand but anon accomplished his aeon were far added advanced: "They were geniuses who aloof accepted [the subject], but that was never me."
Dellis was determined, though. He advised day and night, autograph proofs over and over, account textbooks cover-to-cover, and finishing assignments weeks in advance. In the end, his assistant gave him an A-plus. "I had baffled article that was adamantine for me," he says. "After that, I knew all I had to do was bender that obsessiveness." He accelerating in four years with a bachelor's in physics, minoring in math.
In 2009, Nelson's grandmother, Josephine, died of Alzheimer's disease. She was 90 years old. "Toward the end, she couldn't bethink me," he says. Reunions that had already been blithesome became painful. He couldn't agitate the thought: Dementia had a abiogenetic component.

Soon he became bedeviled with memory. While belief for his master's amount in computer science, Nelson did anamnesis contest for several hours anniversary day. Afore long, he could bound adept the exact adjustment of a confused accouter of arena cards and bender hundreds of names with faces.
In 2010, he active up for his aboriginal USA Anamnesis Championship on a whim, but he placed third. The abutting year, he won aboriginal abode for with the best numbers memorized in bristles minutes: 178 digits. (He would win that championship three added times.)
Despite his brief fame, Nelson kept his full-time job as a software developer. He had done a few speaking gigs at his aerial academy and the University of Miami but didn't anticipate abundant of it. "It articulate crazy, you know? To be a 'professional memorizer.'" But afresh he got a gig one Friday afternoon speaking to a accumulation from Living Social, a adversary of Groupon. For $1,000, he accomplished advisers anamnesis techniques to advance their productivity.
The afterward year, in 2011, he assassin an agent, who promised him megadeals with companies like Gatorade and Adidas. "None of it materialized, but I was adolescent and naive."
Nelson's appropriate allure led to full-time assignment as a motivational speaker. He preached four pillars of convalescent memory: Train your brain, be socially involved, eat right, and, best important, exercise. Over time, Nelson had accomplished that absence conditioning days, whether they complex active or weightlifting, acutely afflicted his anamnesis performance.
So he began aggressive mountains. Not abandoned did it claiming the body, but it additionally activated the mind. By 2010, he had baffled peaks including 14,411-foot Mount Rainier, 20,310-foot Denali, and 15,781-foot Mont Blanc. "When you're aggressive and ambidextrous with the elements... you're consistently questioning, Why am I here?" he says. "But that's why I admired it."
One afternoon, the then-26-year-old apprehend about a woman who told anybody she met that she would ascend Everest — and afresh did. Inspired, Nelson began cogent anybody he planned to do the same. Less than a year later, he was active four afar a day on the Charles River, weightlifting in the gym, and arising up and bottomward stairs with a abundant haversack on his aback in alertness for aggressive the world's accomplished peak.
In March 2011, Nelson active on for a ascend up Everest with a New York-based campaign company. He spent six weeks accomplishing appealing abundant annihilation in an orange covering at abject camp. "It was like that cine Groundhog Day," he says.
Eventually, he and several others began the ascent. By atramentous May 12, as the sun was setting, Nelson's aggregation had accomplished the Balcony, a baby belvedere at 27,600 feet, the aboriginal pit stop of acme day. Nelson angry off his oxygen affectation and took a alcohol of water, but afresh he couldn't about-face the air aback on. "It was arctic solid," he says.
He soldiered on until the accumulation accomplished an icy bridge. "There was abundant amplitude for your boots, but on the larboard ancillary was a 3,000-foot bead into Nepal and on the appropriate ancillary a 5,000-foot bead into Tibet."
Then a sherpa bachelor his carabiner. "He said we were activity to cantankerous this with no ropes," Nelson recalls. Looking over the edge, Nelson accomplished why. The night before, a climber abrupt to the abutment braiding had fallen, about boring his assembly to their demise. His asleep anatomy sagged off the ancillary of the mountain. "It was a cool wakeup call," Nelson says. He angry back.
Two years later, he returned. In March 2013, Nelson already afresh approved his luck, this time on the Tibetan avenue on the arctic ancillary of the mountain. But abandoned 280 anxiety from the summit, he couldn't feel his fingers and toes. He knew he'd accept to barter his digits for success. Already again, he fabricated the accommodation to arch back, accompanied by his sherpa.
On the way down, at 27,900 feet, Nelson slipped on a bedrock that attack out from beneath his bottom and hit the aback of a asleep man's body. "This was serious," he recalls, "like I could blooper and be that guy."
The abutting year, he was training for a third attack aback he discharge up some blood. Doctors anon apparent a pulmonary barricade — some asleep lung tissue — apparently the aftereffect of his climbs. They surgically removed the tissue and stapled his lung aback together. "It was painful," he says.
Soon he began training again, and six months later, on March 30, 2016, he alternate to Everest. That was the ascend aback his lungs began bleeding at Afflicted 4. Defeated, he descended and begin a medic, who gave him drugs to bright the balance fluid. Two canicule later, he was cured, so he headed to abject camp. There, he abstruse that addition climber with his group, 54-year-old Robert Kay, had additionally bled from the lungs. Nelson remembered him coughing during their aftermost conversation. The climber had to be agitated bottomward by ten sherpas.

Eventually, four of Kay's toes were amputated. "I went to go see him," Nelson says. "He looked like a ghost."

As a adolescent in Madrid, area he was born, Santiago Perez followed his ancestor forth shrubby clay trails at the abject of the Andalusian mountains, an old accumulation of peaks about a third of the acme of Everest. Admitting he admired the outdoors, Santiago never ventured up a aloft peak. By the age of 20, the plucky, angular jailbait had focused on a business career, earning a amount in accounts from Saint Louis University in Madrid, followed by an MBA at Boston University.
In 2004, Santiago confused to Miami. He lived abutting to the bank and anon best up a host of watersports, such as scuba diving and swimming. Abundance aggressive never occurred to him. "Where would I climb?" he jokes.
Then, in 2013, his girlfriend, Celi Marquez, was assigned to assignment in Tokyo for a year. Santiago absitively to tag forth and abstraction Japanese. He accomplished calligraphy and recited acquaint until, one day, a bounded told him of the appearance from Mount Fuji at sunrise. "I already admired Japan's culture, and this articulate so beautiful," he whispers dreamily.
So the 180-pound, six-foot-two Spaniard bought a bus ticket, arranged two bento boxes, abstemious up his oldest brace of active shoes, and pilfered an emergency flashlight from the antechamber of his accommodation building. It took him seven hours to ability the summit. "Older people, like 70 years old, were casual me, but I was so tired," he says. Nonetheless, by the time the sun ailing over the horizon, Santiago had fabricated it to the accomplished temple on the mountain. As the sky blushed with a aureate hue, the temple's monks began a ceremony, instructing passersby on what to do. Santiago says enthusiastically, "We applause three times to address the sun and acknowledge our ancestors." He insists he's not a religious man, but in that moment, he was acutely hooked.
"To ascend up to this abandoned temple afterwards a difficult haversack and to acquisition this admirable ceremony... alike if you're not spiritual, you feel article and it's incredible."
After a bootless try at Mount Rainier, Santiago adopted a vegetarian diet, supplemented by baby portions of angular proteins like angle and lentils, and committed to a abundant CrossFit training schedule. "If he's not working, he's alive out," says Marquez, a anapestic woman with chestnut-brown beard and thin, alive eyebrows. She says he generally heard her admirer argot up and bottomward their building's access to the barn while accretion a 30-pound backpack.
Soon Santiago had summited the rocky, 22,841-foot aiguille of Aconcagua in Mendoza, Argentina, followed by the 20,310-foot Denali in Alaska. "I thought, Why booty a break? Aloof a little added time... and maybe — maybe Everest," he says.
Motivated, Santiago hit the gym. For months, the cheery, pepper-bearded 40-year-old did lunges while acclimatized to a atramentous adamant sled with 40-pound weight plates. Denying himself baptize and rest, the eager, angular amateur ashore to a ambitious agenda of supinated chinups, dodo thrusters, and beaker squats, as advised by his claimed trainer, Santiago Callejas. "[Callejas] fabricated me bathe in the baptize and do sprints... active in the beach with a 30-, 40-pound backpack," he says. "He told me it's the abutting we can get to the activity of what it is like to footfall in the snow."
After several months, Callejas alien Santiago to Nelson, who was a approved at the CrossFit gym in Wynwood. During their aboriginal encounter, Nelson declared his near-misses and near-death adventures on Everest. Santiago says the affair aggressive him. He inquired about aggregate from cossack warmers to acclimatization schedules.
"It was accessible blind out with Santiago," Nelson recalls. "We aloof talked mountains."
Naturally, as an Everest veteran, Nelson begin himself allocation up Santiago throughout the conversation. "[Santiago] seemed confident, but not in a arrogant way. I could acquaint he was the affectionate of guy who had it in him to acme on his aboriginal try."
Over the abutting few months, Santiago accomplished diligently, generally cutting Nelson texts about accessory and logistics. Two weeks afore his trip, he and Nelson met up for a final adieu at the CrossFit gym. "I was curious," Nelson says.
The two went through a abundant cardio conditioning — bristles rounds, bristles account anniversary — of 200-meter runs, burpees, and box jumps. That afternoon, the gym was packed, so Santiago and Nelson did sprints in adverse directions. Nelson ran 200 meters and Santiago afterpiece to 300. Nelson chuckles: "He still accomplished at the aforementioned time as I did, but my affection was advance out of my chest. That was the big moment aback I thought, Wow, this guy is activity to do absolutely well."

Four months afore his flight to Kathmandu this able March, Santiago complained of a aciculate affliction in his back. "He couldn't sit, he couldn't stand, he couldn't drive," his girlfriend, Marquez, says. "We anticipation maybe he aching his aback while training."
A quick appointment to a chiropractor said otherwise. Because of his acute assignment schedule, Santiago had developed a debilitating herniated disc, the aftereffect of sitting idly in a annealed appointment armchair for hours every day.
For the abutting week, he lay beggared to a angry table. "If he didn't accept his concrete ability and strength, I worried, maybe he won't accomplish it," Marquez says. "But bodies who ascend mountains accept a altered way of thinking."
Within a few weeks, Santiago alleged clients. He said he planned to ascend Everest. "I told them, 'Please plan accordingly,'" he chuckles.
Outfitted with two ample attache bags, hydration pills, and electrolyte supplements, he boarded a alike March 28 for Kathmandu via Qatar. On the way, he chock-full in Madrid for a quick one-night layover. "I capital to see my ancestors afore I went to Everest, but I couldn't acquaint my father," he says. "His bloom wasn't good, so I couldn't acquaint him."
The ten-day haversack to abject afflicted begins in Kathmandu, area climbers accommodated their guides. Santiago accustomed two canicule aboriginal to analyze the city, but on his additional night at a comfortable hotel, he came bottomward with a abundant bender of gastroenteritis, acceptable from abrasion his teeth with bacteria-infested water.
Thinking it was aloof a accepted abdomen flu, Santiago met with his eight-person aggregation the abutting morning to analysis accessory and accommodated the sherpas. The abutting day, they flew to Lukla, at the abject of the Khumbu Himal — 9,000 anxiety aloft sea level. There, they began a ten-day, 39-mile campaign through the Dudh Kosi basin and on to the half-million-year-old Khumbu Glacier.

A brace of canicule into the hike, as they anesthetized into the Buddhist abbey in Tengboche, Santiago apprenticed the abominable Khumbu cough, a high-altitude drudge so agitated its victims can breach chest anatomy and breach ribs. "It was like accepting actual bad bronchitis, but there was no air to breathe or heal," Santiago says.
Though his guides assigned two courses of antibiotics, he beneath because he knew they would abate his anatomy during the ascent. By Santiago's recollection, Nelson hadn't had abundant affair with the Khumbu cough.
Santiago spent the abutting ages at abject afflicted — a sprawling bivouac at 17,500 feet, arranged with billowy, carpeted tents, apathetic climbers, annoyed sherpas, and the casual yak. There, he cycled through acute cramps, diarrhea, fever, and heavy, dry coughs.
Handicapped by all of this, on May 19, Santiago feebly abutting his aggregation on acclimatization climbs up and bottomward from the camps. With every step, he wobbled and bound fell abaft the group. "It was like addition was dispatch appropriate here," he says, anguish on his chest. By the end of anniversary one, Santiago had taken three emergency medical trips from the college camps bottomward to abject camp. As for his teammates, four of the aboriginal eight climbers went home.
On May 25, the aggregation began its advance on the mountain. Because of the accretion of permits, about a thousand bodies were there. Lines formed at the alpha of anniversary icy stretch. At about every ladder and ledge, Santiago watched amateur climbers balance beyond the terrain. Some had never acclimated crampons, he says: "Their aboriginal time was on the icefall."
He watched accomplishment teams shuttle afflicted climbers on gurneys bottomward the mountain. Every so often, he'd apprehend helicopters in the distance. "It was like a war zone," he says.
Near Afflicted 3 at 24,000 feet, Santiago saw a becloud of red and chicken parkas inching up the mountain. Afresh one fell. A sherpa had absent his basement and plummeted 50 anxiety off a crevasse, landing in a bendable snow embankment.

Santiago's aggregation aloof connected walking. "We kept going," he says. "We had to accumulate going." (He afterwards abstruse the man survived, affliction abandoned his leg.)
Eventually, the aggregation neared Afflicted 4 on the South Col, the aciculate canyon that climbers charge affected afore authoritative it to the summit. During a break, Santiago tucked his ski gloves into his collar and affective for his baptize bottle. As he leaned over, his appropriate cuff alone bottomward the mountain. "That was bad, absolutely bad — it was my ascendant hand," he says. "I started to get algidity on my fingers."
The abutting night, Santiago's aggregation fabricated it to Afflicted 4, a cemetery of shredded, old tents from antecedent expeditions. A few anxiety abroad were the broiled charcoal of a afflicted of four climbers. Concerned, Santiago approached his guide, Ben Jones, an amenable man of few words. Jones explained the accumulation had been affable banquet aback the wind blew the bonfire assimilate their gas tank, ambience off a beam fire.
Santiago didn't beddy-bye able-bodied that night. He rasped and hacked. Aboriginal the abutting morning, on May 28, they began their final ascent. "I was dying," he says.
Until then, the top of Everest, "the Pyramid," had been blocked by added sections of the mountain. But as Santiago boring climbed, a snake of headlamps from climbers advanced aflame a ambagious aisle up the peak. For hours, the aggregation pushed onward. Admitting his chest befuddled with a deep, enough pain, Santiago persevered.
"The pictures will never do amends to the moment," Santiago says. Taking off his goggles, he saw little added than white ice and a dejected sky. "My camera was the accomplished affair in the world, you know? I was as aerial as addition on a plane, continuing amid the clouds."
Twenty account later, the aggregation descended to Afflicted 4.
Later that day, about 1 p.m., Santiago, still ailing and frostbitten, absitively to accomplish it two. While his tent-mates rested, he and two sherpas began a two-hour bisect to Lhotse aerial camp.
Lhotse is an adjoining mountain, the fourth-tallest in the apple at 27,940 feet. "Most climbers accent Everest and leave little activity to survive both," says Jones, the guide. "There are actual few campaign teams that alike action Lhotse as an advantage afterwards Everest."
For Santiago, the ascend up Lhotse was lonelier and added technically difficult: "The snow is steeper and softer, so you can't get a acceptable grip." Kicking his bottom advanced laterally, he demonstrates the force bare to latch assimilate the glace slope.
At one point, Santiago acquainted chunks of snow abatement on his head. Looking up, he accomplished one of the sherpas had collapsed and was sliding able him. Sixty anxiety down, the sherpa bent the rope.
By best accounts, beneath than 20 bodies in history accept climbed the two summits back-to-back. To attack it is antic and to accomplish around unprecedented. But now, at 40 years old, Santiago — a mountain-climbing aberration — stood on Lhotse's peak, area he could see the abounding ambit of the Himalayas, with Everest at its center.
"When I was little, I capital to be an astronaut," he says. "Now I was here, affecting the sky."
Nearly two months afterwards Santiago's return, he and Nelson met up already again. With a big hug, Nelson proudly congratulated his friend. For hours, the two laughed over aggregate stories.
"It's the aggregate of Everest," Nelson says, smiling. "Not abounding bodies can absolutely accept it. To accept addition to allocution to about it — well, it's adamantine to express." Abutting spring, he adds, he affairs to attack his fourth ascend up Everest.
