With trips to Mount Everest canceled for this spring season, Andrew Hughes devasted at this news as he prepared to attempt an exceptional back-to-back climb of Mount Everest and Lhotse. Andrew recently returned as the fastest and first American man to ever complete the Antarctica Trifecta in a single season by Skiing the Last Degree to the South Pole and reaching the summits of Mount Vinson (the highest mountain) and Mount Sidley (the highest volcano) in Antarctica in 43 days.
Over this next month, Andrew encourages us all to flatten the curve in the same way climbers must flatten the mountain, turning the summit into simply another step and transforming the top of the curve into only a marker on the path to full recovery from the impacts of this pandemic.
Andrew’s approach to fitness is accepting of mind, body, and soul regardless of being on top of the tallest mountain of the world or in a living room. During this time of confusion and anxiety in self-isolation, please let me know if you are interested in a remote interview with high-endurance, achieved mountain climber’s fitness tips and advice.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
