Alan Arnette on Everest
Sorry for the self serving title but I am off to climb Everest as part of my 7 Summits for Alzheimer's: Memories are everything project. I have already summited Vinson in December and Aconcagua in January. I am climbing using the logistics of International Mountain Guides (IMG) with a Sherpa guide. I am posting frequent updates on my blog at http://www.alanarnette.com/blog. Denali is next in July.

Re: Alan Arnette on Everest
Best of luck... you're about the begin the adventure that nearly every climber I know has dreamed of at one point or another. Stay safe up there, and snap a few pictures for those of us who are still hanging out at half of your elevation

The reasons I climb, and the climbs I do, are about more than distance or altitude, they are about breaking barriers within myself."
