This is SO awesome, Brad! Congratulations!!
Book 2 in the works?? You're up to how many of the 7 summits now?
"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need – if only we had the eyes to see." -Ed Abbey

"I get scared sometimes—lots of times—but it's not bad. You know? I feel close to myself. When I'm out there at night, I feel close to my own body, I can feel my blood moving, my skin and my fingernails, everything, it's like I'm full of electricity and I'm glowing in the dark—I'm on fire almost—I'm burning away into nothing—but it doesn't matter because I know exactly who I am." from The Things They Carried

Haha, no way on book 2! Seven summits isn’t much either - only two of the official ones done (three if we count Mont Blanc for Europe while Russia isn’t playing nice). I have no desire to ever do Everest.
