Crazy 8's: Father-Son Climbing Duo - Matt & Mike Moniz

Father-son mountaineering duo Mike and Matt Moniz planned a triple-8,000 meter peak visit to Nepal this spring, but Mount Everest had other plans. Following the avalanche that killed 16 Sherpas, the pair climbed Cho Oyu, but Mike left 16-year old Matt to summit Makalu, the world's 6th tallest mountain, while he tried to negotiate a way to Everest through China. Having missed out on Makalu, Mike doesn't feel the need to go back and summit the peak, saying, "one Moniz on the summit of Makalu is enough."
