Everest: Daring to Dream
I’ll be making an attempt to climb Mt. Everest in the Spring of 2011.
This is just a little over a year from now, and I’m currently in the midst of making preparations for the climb: sourcing a reliable commercial company to do the climb with, getting the gear together, training, etc.
If you’re wondering what this is going to cost, it’s about US$40,000. That’s right folks, it IS a lot of money that I could do a lot of things with. If I were practical, I could pay my rent or buy a small car; if I were noble, I could feed an clothe and impoverished village; if I were fashionable, I could buy an Hermes Birken Handbag ;o)
But I’m none of those things...
Heck, I just want to climb it.
Blast from the past: Paul Niday and myself on Mt. Rainier, Jun 1984

Let me see... Everest or this black alligator skin bag? Hmm...
