Nepal's Mount Manaslu is close to 8,200 metres above sea level and is tricky in spots according to Jeff Wildeman. He reached the summit of world's eighth -tallest mountain on the morning of September 24th.
That's the part of the story where the soundtrack swells into a chorus of uplifting music, but there was no soundtrack playing for Wilderman on Sept. 24.
Wildeman said there's not much time to celebrate because you have to make way for the line of climbers who also need to reach the top of the mountain. Many climbers plan on taking more than 30 days for the ascent to help them acclimatize to the altitude, but Wildeman reached it in just 14 days. "You're basically fighting to breathe and your heart rate is extremely elevated, massive headache, you can't eat so you're very nauseated, a lot of people are throwing up," he said. "My resting heart rate at home is like 38, my resting heart rate in the tent is like above 100 sometimes just lying there."14 Peaks
"It's a great place in Calgary where families can go as soon as they suspect a mental health issue with their child," she said. "So that it does not escalate into a crisis that requires hospitalization so some of Jeff's monies support initiative like this."
