Description
Mountaineers have to be tenacious. Not only must they keep physically clinging to the equipment, or the rock and ice that keeps them from falling, but they also have to keep going even when their route is blocked, or their plans change.
In this video, Martin and Esther Kafer, along with friend Dave Boyd, show just want tenacity is, as they climb to the summit of Mount Monarch at over 3500 metres (over 11,500 feet).
