Re: Alan Arnette summits K2
So impressed. Hopefully he will post a trip report on this website upon his safe return.
Its easy to grin when your ship comes in
and you got the stock market beat.
And the man worth while is the man who can smile
when his shorts are tight in the seat... Smails.

Re: Alan Arnette summits K2
Outstanding accomplishment Alan! I've read the books on K2, which all left me stunned. So with this, I'm beyond joyed to see you summit and make it down safe and sound. Glad to know you via 14ers and YouTube. An inspiration and genuine good guy fighting for a great cause. Cheers!

Way to go Alan! I really enjoyed following your progress and much respect your efforts against Alzheimer's.

Do nothing in haste, look well to each step, and from the beginning think what may be the end.'" - Edward Whymper

Re: Alan Arnette summits K2
Great job Alan! Now you only have to repeat it twice to catch up with The Great Camilo.
Seriously though, truly impressive! And for a worthy cause to boot.
