When David was in his forties, his life hit rock bottom. Looking up from the bottom of the barrel, he decided to embark on a 7 year journey to climb the 7 summits. We talk about the most frightening moment of his life in the shadow of Mt. Everest, why climbers who are only doing it to reach the summit will most likely never get there, the birthday gift from his sister that ultimately began his journey to the top, as well as why being at the lowest point of your life makes you bulletproof... for a while.
