Melissa Arnot Reid, the first American woman to summit and descend Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, talks to Michael Kosta about her new memoir, "Enough: Climbing Toward a True Self on Mount Everest.” She opens up about using high-level climbing as a sometimes unhealthy coping mechanism and why her journey to inner peace is a “forever climb.” She also discusses Juniper Fund, the non-profit she co-founded to support high-altitude workers in Nepal.
