Reaching Beyond the Clouds

Yesterday I had lunch with the Orange County Mt. Everest summiteers. It was an amazing feeling: seven people who have climbed to the top of the world. A real “Power Lunch” experience!

Mike, Ryan, John, Denise, Paul, Cindy, Bill (the oldest American to summit Mt. Everest)

Courtesy of Alan Arnette, I have added a map of the route we climbed and the camp locations. Look under Mt. Everest.

Planet Green is showing past Everest: Beyond the Limit shows. If you would like to get an idea of what it is like to climb Everest,  here is a link to the airing dates. So far, these shows are climbing from the North Side. I know that the last series was filmed climbing from the South Side which is the route I used.

While I work on the book telling my story, I posted a few more pictures in the Photo Gallery to give you a taste of  the experience.
