—MT EVEREST 2013 CLIMB— (ACCOMPLISHED!!!)

I summited the north ridge of Mt Everest on May 22, 2013. It was a lot more challenging than I ever expected. But I DID IT. I am extremely happy, proud and humbled by the entire experience. To my entire family, all my friends, supporters and armchair adventurers, I want to THANK YOU for being behind me during this journey of a lifetime!
