One week before I left for Everest, I got to present at a TEDx event in Warsaw. Interestingly, I did not talk about the mountain, and instead, re-told my adventure of my Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim solo crossing of the Grand Canyon in summer. The video is below, and I have attached the script (roughly) of what I said.
It was an incredibly difficult experience, memorizing (as there are no notecards or prompters) my whole talk while balancing work, training, and packing for Everest. To remember the next line while trying to pace and keep focus on the audience was difficult, but I am glad I got to tell my story to people.
