Special Podcast: Chatting With Jim Davidson about Everest Summits
While we watch summit after summit on Everest 2022, I reached out to my long-time friend, mentor, and climbing partner, Jim Davidson to take a trip down memory lane and talk about our Everest experiences.
We talk training, preparation, and being on Everest during the tragic 2015 earthquake, and of course, my summit in 2011 and Jim’s in 2017. It’s a fun, fast-paced conversation that I know you will enjoy.
Climb On!
