Everest is on my daughter’s “bucket list” of before 30 must do’s.
One of her former instructor’s/mentor’s is a summit guide, has made quite a difference in her life.
Planning on the walk-up on Adams, in July, and if she, (and I), feel spry enough, hopefully Mt. Stuart. (In my opinion, the most pictoeasque peak in Washington State).
Looking forward to your pics, and such; bring back a pint fo yak butter!

Mount Stuart was my love all while living in Ellensburg. I loved seeing it every single time I did. Good for her and I would love to follow her on her journey to the top!

And we all know that you have super human strength, so try not to lap your climing mates(a

Karen though I knew you as Kathys sister at Glacier, I just want to say I admire you sooo much. I enjoy your blog immensely, something I will never see as walking is difficult for me with a life long friend of arthritis. Enjoy and keep us informed. God bless
