Interviewer Mick Hunt asks Mark Pattison about snow blindness and a COVID outbreak and how Pattison prepared mentally and physically for mountain summits. Pattison emphasizes a progressive build-up (Little League → NFL metaphor), the importance of loving the process, and 'competitive greatness' (John Wooden), citing athletes Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant as exemplars. He recounts recent climbs: Eiger (most recent), Matterhorn (previous year), and Mont Blanc (year before).

Chapters

You had snow blindness. And I'd love for you to explain what that is for people that don't know. And you also had to deal with COVID outbreak. How did you mentally and physically prepare for these summits, brother?
Well, I mean, I think it's like a lot of times, you know, you don't go from, you know, Little League to the NFL one jump, right? And so there's this progression over time. And I think what the commonality for me has been is the love of the game. John Wooden call at the very tippy top calls it competitive greatness, Right? Competitive greatness isn't necessarily, necessarily about Michael Jordan winning six or seven, you know, NBA rings. What's about is that he loved the process, that he'd be there at 2 o' clock in the morning. Kobe Bryant had that. I just got done a week ago climbing the Eiger. The Eiger is straight up. It's an insane mountain. I mean, it would have like. Like just looking at this thing, I was like, I don't even know how to climb this thing. It's rock straight up. Year before that, I did the Matterhorn. Year before that, I did Mount Blanc in Europe. And so you gotta love the process. You gotta love the process.
