Everest is an obstacle that you will encounter at every Tough Mudder event. This obstacle has spawned multiple posts from us including 3 Leadership Lessons from Everest. It is also an event that we have seen varying degrees of success with. That's part of what makes this experience so much fun. Each event, each obstacle brings with it a new challenge. I've posted my Everest failure clip on a previous blog post. There is no need to relive that tragedy yet again. I thought I'd post my Everest success clip instead.
It's still amazing to look back to the first event at Wintergreen and see multiple failed attempts with a great deal of assistance. It ended up taking an army of people to hoist me over the ramp. Now it is entirely possible to scale the obstacle without any help at all. It just goes to prove that Impossible is Nothing. The countdown clock is moving fast and Mid-Atlantic will be here in a few short weeks. New course, new obstacles, and new challenges await!

i was inspired when i saw a group of guys make a ladder to get their paralized friend to the top. i was pleasantly surprised when i made it up everest on the first attempt. i just ran until i felt people grab my arms.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the amazing video of the ladder. It symbolizes what these events are all about. Congrats on making it on the first attempt. You can typically run up it a lot farther than you initially think. I jumped/fell way too early on my initial attempts.
