WARMUP: Returned to Golden Corral COT to pay respects with Hillbilly walkers, imperial walkers, MNCs
THE THANG: 5/29 1953 – Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first to summit Mt. Everest 73 years ago. In honor of that, the Pax completed their own tribute climb. There are five camps plus the summit when taking the southern route to the peak:
Base camp 5364 meters (17,598 feet)
Camp one 6065 (19,900)
Camp two 6400 (21,000)
Camp three 7200 (23,600)
Camp four 7920 (26,000)
Peak 8,849 (29,032)
After a brief warmup and mozy to the church parking lot, we completed exercises at each camp as we ascended Everest. To acclimatize for the altitude, at camps one, two, three, and four we completed the exercises, returned to the previous camp (and the exercises there) before moving on to the next camp. (E.G. complete exercises at camp one, returned to base camp and the exercises there before ascending to camp three). Exercises reflected the altitude in meters:
Base camp: 53 flutters/64 shoulder taps
Camp one: 60 SSH/65 dips
Camp two: 64 merkins
Camp three: 72 LBCs
Camp four: 79 CDD, 20 Diamond merkins
Peak: 88 plank jacks, 49 overhead claps
With little time remaining, climbers did 25 squats at each base camp during their descent.
One oversight on YHC’s part is we did exactly ZERO mountain climbers during the ascent. We rectified the situation at COT with 10 mountain climbers just before 6:00.

Throughout the workout, pax reflected on hard choices related to living life fully out of a commitment to be our best self for our family. Pax shared about struggles and choices related to healthy eating, exercise, alcohol, porn, tobacco, foul language and more. Thanks to everyone for pushing through the stiff humidity and sharing openly. Inspiration came from the prompt below that crossed my radar in the past two weeks:
You say "I would die for my family"
OK, but …
Would you exercise for them? would you eat healthy for them? would you chase your dreams for them? would you quite your bad habits for them?
You don't need to die for them
You need to live for them
Thanks @U08N41FCN0Z for the Q invite! #KeepPosting
