This experiential report explores the complexity of time(s) in the context of high-altitude climbing. It shows the tight interdependence of time and place for the shifting relationship between pace, movement and altitude. It considers the centrality of Kairos, the fortuitous (and fortunate) convergence of the right person, at the right time, in the right place. Finally, it discusses the climber's constantly shifting relationship to the past, present and future while ascending, arriving at the summit and descending some of the highest (8000+ metre) mountains of the earth.
