    On January 19th, 2010, I reached the summit of Aconcagua in Argentina, 6.962 meters.

    I was looking for some wisdom in this period, and was hoping to find some at the summit. I had heard stories like “if you make it to the summit, you realise it’s all worth it” and “you climb up a boy and you come down a man”.

    After two weeks of pain and suffering, we finally reached the summit. Besides being completely exhausted I didn’t feel anything.
