I mean, at some point, your body feels that it needs calories.
And I was using
around 9,000 calories per day.
So that's a lot of calories that I need to eat to not lose capabilities day after day.
So, of course, you want a very nice meal, but at some point you don't care at all.
It's just like, okay, I just want to eat.
I think especially in this project, it was incredible to share with people that they are from these places.
I had, like, I think on the project, like, half of the summits I did alone and half with people.
And they are very different experiences, but doing it with people from there,
you get a much deeper connection with those places and those landscapes.
And the funny thing, it was like I was doing the first summit, Longs Peak, in Colorado with Kyle.
He's from Boulder.
He has the fastest known time to climb Longs Peak.
He's been spending like years and years on that mountain.
And climbing with him, like he was like just telling me everything about the mountain, everything about the possibilities, saying this is the most beautiful mountain on earth, like because you can do that and that and that and see the rock.
Everybody had this deep connection with those landscapes.
If you ask me, the most beautiful mountains on Earth are the ones I see from my house because I develop a relation with them and I feel connected with them because I can play much more on them because I have a deeper knowledge.
So to be able to share those mountains with people that have the same connection, you really feel the love.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
