Here’s the link to the latest video of my climb to the summit of Denali.
Also, we made a pretty cool compilation video of all the summits so far.

On the lakefront setting of B’s Restaurant, Jordan presented to some 60 Kiwanas members. It was a great 30 minute show, including his Denali movie and question and answer from nearly all the members in attendance.
It’s onto Land Rover Mission Viego fund raiser, 6pm on Friday night (the 22nd).
Go Gibbon Go.
Fresh back from Salt Lake City….and he’s got a new gift from Jordan’s personal professional photographer/sister/sponsor “Izzy” (from Desert Adventures) owner of Desert Adventures .
Unfamiliar with Slacklining….it’s a very intense sport, coming from the world of Rock Climbing…..it’s often refered to as a side sport/campsite hobbie to the hardcore climbing community.
It’s in our front yard now, and it’s a blast. Perfect way to add some fitness and coordination testing to those hot/boring afternoons after school.
Think you have good balance? come by and give it a try.

Big Bear Rotary
hosted Jordan on Thursday night. Some 50 members were treated to the brand new movie made of the Denali Expedition. Jordan spoke for about 20 minutes, answered several questions and had a great dinner sitting next to some of Big Bear’s finest citizens. Namely, big thanks to Liz Harris for the kind invitation. It was a blast.
The town of Big Bear had one of it’s largest gatherings ever, to send off our town Olympian Marathoner, Ryan Hall. He leaves for Beijing on August 6. Over 3000 people gathered at the local middle school track/field where Ryan said he got his start with running.
Jordan was invited to run a celebration/send off lap with the Olympian Ryan Hall. It was a tremendous gesture by the Lighthouse Project, a group that has made it a mission to turn Big Bear into Child Honoring Community. They presented Ryan with more than 1,200,000 miles all run, biked, paddled, swam and walked in honor of Ryan. Check out www.bigbearlighthouse.com and the Move a Million Miles for Ryan Hall Project.
