My Dream to Climb the 7 Summits

I DID IT. May 22, 2010 I stepped onto the summit of Mt. Everest. My team was amazing, and all my hard work paid off.

Now… to finish my quest to climb the ‘Seven Summits of the World’, I will move my sights to Antarctica, the coldest place on earth. Near the south pole, is Mt. Vinson Massif. Me and the team will have to make an amazing effort just to get there.

We are ready to stand at the base of the mountain - mind, body and soul taking in the sight, feeling the wind in our faces and breathing in the experience.

We’ve trained our minds for the difficulties and emotions that the mountain will give to us. We’ve trained our bodies for the physical challenges that the mountain will share. We’ve opened our souls to the mountain, the history, the culture and the rituals that surround the climb. We are a team and together we will find our synergy and step together toward the summit.
