Vlog: An Interview with My Son, the Mountaineer

The most basic of survival skills -- directing the human mind -- is explored in this fantastic interview with climber and mountaineer, Trinidad Collier. Recapping his first real survival-oriented adventure on the top of Mt. Washington, Trinidad relates how important it is to be able to direct one's own perspective and harness the momentum of "doing the next right thing." Followed up with a story about the importance of play in a stressful situation, this interview offers insights not only into survival, but into how every one of us can work with our fear by fostering joy at every opportunity.
