For: TJ and Angela and all the climbers

What you have accomplished is soooo amazing. I sit here back in Buffalo wondering what this last week was like for you and what was today like? How can you even explain what it must feel like to accomplish something that so few will ever experience. What kind of words will do it justice and explain what it felt like when you stood at the Summit? I am sure you felt Jacquie around you. I am so very happy for you. I hope to hear about your journey some day soon. God Bless!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! I knew you guys could do it and am so proud of you both. Can't wait to hear all about the climb!

For: Myra, Ivan & the Gang

"To those who have struggled with them, the mountains reveal beauties that they will not disclose to those who make no effort. That is the reward the mountains give to effort. And it is because they have so much to give and give it so lavishly to those who will wrestle with them that men love the mountains and go back to them again and again. The mountains reserve their choice gifts for those who stand upon their summits." by Sir Francis Younghusband.

For: Myra & Ivan
