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!

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
