Seven Rangers. One Mountain. One Mission.
The summit was the destination. Teamwork was the achievement.
The expedition became more than a mountaineering challenge. It demonstrated a principle that would define the Rangers spirit: personal ambition could give way to responsibility for others.
Seven Rangers set out to conquer Humboldt Peak in the Venezuelan Andes. Only three reached the summit.
Along the way, illness forced difficult decisions. One Ranger gave up his opportunity to reach the top to help two teammates descend safely.
