Mountain Climbing

It started with a two month trekking trip to Nepal in 1999 and turned into a passion to climb mountains around the world. I was hooked and planned work around going on one or two international climbing expeditions per year. After reaching the summit of Mount Everest in 2009, I decided to complete the 8 Seven Summits. For anyone with the same interest or curiosity, these are images from my adventures. Many people don't understand the allure of climbing mountains and after reading Into Thin Air, I didn't either. But despite sometimes feeling lousy or cold or scared, it was extremely gratifying and rewarding, with or without a summit, and I wouldn't trade these experiences and the lifelong friendships I've made for anything.
