Jimmy Chin Instagram – Tent life with @conrad_anker and @brady_robinson. During the first week of our 2001 expedition to K7, Brady and I noticed that Conrad always got up before us. We didn’t want to seem lazy, so we started getting up earlier and earlier every morning. But each day, Conrad was making coffee or organizing gear by the time we were out of our tents. The night before attempting K7, the three of us agreed to wake up at 3 a.m. Brady and I secretly decided to wake up at 2 a.m. to get ready before Conrad. That morning, Brady and I woke early, quietly gathered our gear, and exited our tent in the dark. As we rushed to load our packs, a headlamp clicked on nearby. I looked over to see Conrad leaning casually against a rock with his pack shouldered and ready to go. I shook my head in awe and disbelief.
