Welcome to the latest episode of the Why The Mountains podcast with me your host, Stephen Farley. This is part two of our chat with Jen Copeland. If you haven’t listened to part one, I suggest you do that first. We start this episode on summit day, where Jen describes in detail what it is like to make the final push towards the summit, the difficulties and the hardship that precede the highs of reaching the top, and in the case of Jens expedition, the tragedy and loss that is never far away from those who venture into the death zone on the highest mountains on the planet.
