Having summited Denali, the Grand Teton, Rainier and many other peaks this was just a review for Paul that he aced. The next day we set up a \u00c2\u00a0ladder and Paul worked on horizontal and vertical ladder crossings with the boots and crampons he&#8217;ll use on Everest.<\/p>\n<p>Paul is coming back for a couple of weekends this winter to complete some long alpine ice routes in preparation for his upcoming trip to Everest.
