Everest
On March 20, 2010 I shall be at the Everest Basecamp, embarking on the last of my 7 Summits! Everest is not only the highest mountain in the world, but also one of the more dangerous. In the upcoming weeks, I shall be busy training and will provide you with updates on my blog.
You can also join my Facebook page to be updated on my events and my preparations for Everest!
