Manuel Pizarro was a law enforcement officer when 9/11 reshaped his life. Four years later, he became the first Canadian to summit Everest solo without support from Camp 6 — then did it again two years later.

In this episode, Manuel opens up about what the mountain actually demands of you, surviving 12 hours near the summit when things went wrong, the emotions climbers bury on the way up, and how September 11th gave him a reason to climb in the first place.
