Doug said : Ed Viesturs (one of my heros) will not venture beyond his comfort zone. Not sure how one quantifies "their comfort zone," but it's something "safe" risk-takers know very well; and they at least attempt to maximize their chances of success and minimize the possible loss of life and loss to family... Ed Viesturs also talks about why he will make such great efforts to help others. (paraphrasing what I remember): "I believe there is a Karma National Bank. The more deposits you make now, the more you'll have to use when you might need it." Most of us, unfortunately, don't know what our balance sheet looks like.
