hi on a remote peak in Myanmar a team of
elite climbers is unraveling just as
they are poised to attempt the summit
what I’m hearing from you guys is that
you don’t trust me on the Rope we’re
just worried about the safety of the
team there’ll be tons of ridge walking
solo without a rope it’s a mile long
it’s just very serious
I get it quarry probably stronger me
what’s this I’m strong enough I’ve
picked a path that puts me as a woman
trying to tie on to the Brotherhood of
the rope as as mark would say at times
it’s been hard I went through years
where I you know felt like I had to
prove myself I felt like it was
basically directly calling that into
question and yeah it sucked you don’t
think I can do this and be strong and
fast on it no you’re taking it
personally we’re talking about okay
we’re talking about the strongest
members with the most experience to try
to get to there and get better that’s
what we’re talking about right I’m gonna
say one thing it’s not gonna be nice and
then I’m done do you mark for the vote
of confidence I’ll be the team leader
I’ll step down and Koryo go
she took it very personally and you can
attribute that to ego or you can tribute
that to gender issues I don’t know I
don’t know the inside of her mind I mean
I can’t even explain how deaf I thought
it was I had poured my heart and soul
into this but honestly 41 years old I’ve
been all over the world climbing I’ve
been on a million different teams like I
just don’t need to prove myself anymore
I have done that I’ve been there I just
let it go
youngest team member emileeh will also
stay behind I understand why it might be
the best option
I knew the climbing ahead was far more
serious than the climbing that we had
done and I wasn’t ready to do anything
more serious than what I had just done
for hillary the wounds still run deep
with Mark I think in hindsight he just
he just he never wanted to climb with me
he wanted to climb with the guys and he
wanted it to be like this reenactment of
he and his two friends and I just was
never a part of that picture
