More people have climbed than have completed the Yukon Quest. Nearly half the mushers freeze up under the pressure – and turn back. Poorly prepared, under-slept, frostbitten or scared, mushers collapse from exhaustion or succumb to dehydration. Heavy snow covers the trails and throws them off course - leaving them lost in the Canadian wilderness. Sleds fall though frozen rivers; teams succumb to howling winds, whiteouts and temperatures as low as minus 60. As first place winner 2008 Lance McKay states, it takes a “madness” to even dream of participating. The trails of the Quest are no place for a novice musher from is a happy-go-lucky kid who hums reggae tunes and cracks wise - nothing like the hardened northern mushers who compete in the Quest. In the eyes of these men, is a lightweight who’s way out of his league. He’ll either drop out half way through the Quest - or die trying.
