[ Renan ]

Good job, Conrad!

[ Panting ]

[Jimmy]

On the summit push, I think all of us...

and probably Conrad the most,

was dreading the upper pitches.

Because he knew he was

the only one that could do 'em.

And it was a really hard

and dangerous lead.

[ Renan ]

Conrad carried a lot of pressure that day.

It's really hard to explain

to anyone what he did up there.

[Jimmy ] We finally get to the summit ridge,

where we turned around in 2008.

And we hadn't really talked about

who was gonna take the last lead.

And that was the final, unknown section.

Conrad looked at me,

and he was like, All right.

[Conrad ]

I was like, Jimmy, this is your lead.

It's your turn to take the reigns.

[ Groans ]

[ Panting ]

[Conrad ]

Nice, Jimmy.

Whoo!

Whoo!

- Yeah, Renan.

- F***, yeah.

[ Laughing I

Yeah.

Yeah, Mugs!

Got it for ya!

[ Panting ]

[ Breathing Raggedly]

[ Exhales Sharply]

Ten years of climbing together.

[ Renan ]

There was-

There was some points

where I didn't think I was gonna make it.

And I know it stressed

those guys out a lot, so-

Definitely happy to be up here...

and, uh, take part

in Conrad's 20-year dream...

and 1O years of Jimmy and Conrad

climbing together...

and... yeah, feel part of the team.

[ Woman]

When the cold bites your bones

J' And gets in your heart'

J' It can make you feel hopeless'

J" And fear will come

to steal your sun and make it dark

But don't believe you're lonely

We've all had that moment

when our shoulders sink

J" And we sit back and think J"

We could just run

But we're not born

to chase the fading light

J We're not born to fall

and lose the fight

Never letting go

Oh, no, oh

J I'm askin' you to lift me,

lift me higher than I ever been

I Hold your breath and say

you're gonna come with me I

J We were born to follow J

The light that never fails

H' [ Woman Vocalizing ]

J" You're scared to fight,

you're scared to climb, afraid to die

But I can be your courage

And help you see

you've already won this

We all have that moment

when our head hangs low

We question if we should go

J Or turn back and run J"

But we're not born

to chase the fading light

We're not born

to fall and lose the fight

Never letting go

Oh, no, oh

J I'm askin' you to lift me,

lift me higher than I ever been

I Hold your breath and say

you're gonna come with me I

J We were born to follow J

The light that never fails

J" Come along

We're settin' sail

Never looking back again

We're not born

to chase the fading light

We're not born

to fall and lose the fight

Never letting go

Oh, no, oh

J I'm askin' you to lift me,

lift me higher than I ever been

I Hold your breath and say

you're gonna come with me I

J We were born to follow J

The light that never fails

The light that never fails

J We were born to follow J

- The light that neverJ'

- H' [ Vocalizing]

- Light that neverJ'

- H' [ Vocalizing]

The light that never fails J2!'
