He also climbed a 7000er with a friend and is now on Ama Dablam.

range of topics from how he got into climbing, why he prefers private guiding over the large commercial team model, his experience on Everest (at 19:50), especially with COVID (at 22:48), their experience on Makalu (25:05) which Becks considers her best moment even though they didn&#8217;t summit, their K2 summit (25:05) &#8211; a first for Jon and Becks, their summit experience on Manaslu (40:00) and the current discussion around the true vs. fore summit, and why they turned back on their summit push on\u00a0Dhaulagiri (36:09).<\/p>\n<p>I think you&#8217;ll enjoy meeting this highly
