In May of 2021, at 75 years old, Art summited Mt. Everest, making him the third-oldest person to have attained this feat. In this episode, Scott, Art, and his coach Seth Keena recap Art's experiences on the expedition, and the training process leading up to his summit bid, going back 2 plus years. We captured this interview while are was still in Kathmandu, fresh off the climb with emotions still close to the surface.
When Art first approached us for coaching he was woefully unprepared for an attempt on Mt Everest. He not only didn't have the fitness needed he greatly underestimated the undertaking. Despite warnings from his coach that he was not ready to tackle this huge objective, Art went anyway. What ensured on the mountain nearly cost him his life. Chastened, he returned to coaching with a realistic understanding of what it was going to take to succeed on the highest mountain on Earth.
