Bleak Outlook for Himalayan Glaciers - David Brashers

In the second segment of his interview, David Brashears explains that when he's choosing a team of people to summit one of the world's highest mountains, he picks people with different strengths. That way, they have a team mentality, and they rely on each other for survival, and the only way they'll leave a teammate on the mountain is in a life and death scenario where it's impossible to save everybody's life. But Brashears says that the draw of the Himalayas isn't necessarily the summits of the world's tallest mountains. His company, Glacierworks, seeks to understand how the warming climate affects the Himalayan glaciers and what the future looks like for the people who inhabit the valleys in the shadows of the world's tallest peaks.
