I went to the same pt she goes to after my ACL surgery. He's a good guy who's had ACL reconstruction surgery himself. I have no doubt she's in shape for it. I had a completely torn ACL yet never felt unstable due to good muscle strength. I knew could still ski at a high level the day I went into surgery. But also knew that I had a higher chance of messing up my knee even worse. Everyone has to make their own decisions. Also on a project like 8000m climbing your team has to be in agreement. And if your knee gives out up high it might kill you. But that's a decision they all must make

May be mistaken, but I thought her intention was to ski it, not just hike it?
Big difference if so...Time spent skiing cannot be deducted from one's life.

Yeah if her intention is to ski from the summit then doing that without an ACL seems very risky for all involved.

Little movie about her fall, acl injury, and Everest climb. Sounds like she's getting ready to go soon.

Couple weeks. May is the season. I wish her luck. She struggled at elevation a bit on her last high altitude foray but pulled together to summit. I been seeing some of her rehab post on IG.
Her boyfriends deal is bigger Everest, English channel swim and one other massive sufferfest..good on em both.

What does “raising awareness “ even mean? And how does climbing a mountain, riding a bike, and swimming somewhere actually raise “awareness”. I’m willing to bet that the people who would pay attention to this are already “aware” of “gender equity”...
Reminds me of when I did team in training. Everybody talked about raising awareness for Leukemia and there were actually a few true believers and at least some of our raised funds actually went to cancer research but most were just looking to party, hook up, and meet future hubby/wife.The K-12 dude.

I bet it's harder to get sponsor money when all you're raising awareness about is that fact that your completely arbitrary goal is super expensive and you need help supporting your habit.
Reminds me of grant writing when I was in grad school. No matter what your project was, you either tied it to cancer or drug detection or there was no money to be found anywhere.

fundraising for questionable issues aside Im sure there are more than a few that would swap positions with these 2 if given the chance. Even if the "mission" is less than ideal its still pretty badass stuff.

She just skied some groomers on IG. Totally the same as skiing off the summit of Everest!

Hell yeah I would!
Pointing out the hypocrisy of choosing an expedition to Everest and it staggering cost to raise awareness for a cause that could be much better served by injecting the same amount of cash in direct action isn't hating though. There are plenty of athletes who have found a way to do awesome stuff for a living and get sponsors to pay for it without wrapping themselves in the mantle of a cause, worthy or not.

Interesting. They are climbing Everest "via the Northeast ridge from Tibet so you can drive to Basecamp". Wtf? Drive to Basecamp? Weird.

^^^^im in for $4.20 on #paws4thecause i dont waste much time askin peeps if they rather be sumthins or someone else or wondering bouts it or waste life on #twittygram time
but almost all the mags and skibums i hang with are pretty much content in their skin
and aside from a morbid curiousity of wondering what a 9lbsledgehammer vape or a roll your own drummer would do to ya in the death zone im good with not knowing or going
but rest assured in my next life its not just gonna be the superbowl
it will be yet another oppurtunity to let my followers know of my wokeness and support for the causes
#skidogfartsniffsonbendedknee
maybe their not just driving but ya know

Standard for the NE Ridge. This a base camp on the north side, not the South Col one in the Khumbu.
