BrewHOST
For any climber looking to conquer the highest peak in the world, the goal is to reach high camp with just enough energy to summit and still get back to camp, and he believed he had just enough left in the tank.
BrewHOST

BrewHOST
This was a redemption challenge for Doug, as he was turned back within a few hundred feet of the summit a year before.
BrewHOST
But Doug wasn't in the best of health, and Beck was worried that despite the fact that he wasn't climbing well, Doug's determination to not get turned back a second time might drive him to do something he shouldn't.

Doug Hansen, who had been forced to turn back from summiting the year before, did precisely what Beck had worried he would do.
BrewHOST
