A commitment to climbing mountains means a commitment to failure. Something I am reflecting upon with today being National Mountain Climbing Day.
For example, on our quest to summit the highest peak in #myanmar, the expedition team and I were pushed to our limits, brought down to nothing. As a team we collectively made the decision to turn back after a 40+ day attempt. It may seem like a failure by traditional standards, but the best lessons are sometimes learned when your acute discernment is put to the test.
Seen here, @renan_ozturk on expedition and #onassignment for #natgeo.

To be humbled, and lift oneself up, is the sincerest of victories. There is no such thing as failure when one sees Truth. I admit feeling a tremendous sadness. We had watched the extreme training, time and and dedication, only to realize that the weather patterns, erratic as they were, caused you and Topo to descend off of that mountain. May you, and Topo, know how grateful we all were to know you had arrived safely off of that mountain. That meant more than words can express, and as the days rolled forward and the count of the unsuccessful taking the familiar ascent, grew, our hearts grew ever more grateful. There is absolutely nothing more important than the safety of our friends and family. Sometimes our greatest successes cannot be defined by endurance, but by grace. ❤️🙏❤️

This is amazing! It describes everything for me right now. I started a rock climbing course and didn't finished It yet because of an accident that occured before the last class (everything is good nobody got hurt). I was so frustrated and sad. It took me some days to accept that as a lesson that things won't always happen the way I expect them to. Sometimes we need to step back and wait til we can try again.

Just happened to refresh my memory yesterday evening watching “Down to Nothing” and it’s such a unique tale of a unbeaten path and true discovery! Greeting from the equator 🙌🏻 @renan_ozturk

Those kinds of decisions are the ones that talk about your strength and wisdom to choose the best for you and the whole team. There will always be more opportunities! tight hug!

Maybe the road to success is littered with dozens of failures. Maybe you succeeded at staying alive by turning back. We only fail when we don’t learn or quit trying.

Enjoy the road and do not focus so much on the end, all experience brings you life. And always alert, don't trust yourself, you already know her🤗
