May 10, 1996 is the date of the most historic Tragedy in Mount Everest history.
The Story is both sad and triumphant..
It\'s also about his long aftermath journey to understand his experience, to find meaning in it, and to find guidance from it for his future goals and challenges.
But Lou\'s personal Story is more than about being there.
Lou tells the Story about what happened and what went wrong.
The Story is an example of how and where to go for the guidance and strength needed in such moments.
This was Lou\'s struggle with himself 400 feet from the summit, when he faced a tough decision and conflicting internal voices about what to do.
But the crux of the Story has much in common with everyday life.
The drama near the summit was high.
The climbing events and the forces of nature were at the extreme, especially when things went wrong.
He lived that story.
Lou Kasischke was there.
Eight climbers died.
