That would be right, started to think about this goal around 5 years ago and it is all heading the right direction. I get my mind on something and a bit like a dog with a bone. We have 3 more summits to go. Denali (Alaska), Mt Everest & Mt Vinson (Antarctica). We have some plans to also do the North & South Poles. Would love to do a survivor man serious….we are both a little crazy, so would be some good entertainment. Looks can be a little deceiving on Mt Aconcagua, the temperature on the day at 7,000 metres (23,000 feet) was not that bad, but the early mornings and the nights can be killers…literally. The air is very dry and breathing can actually hurt the throat. I would say it was perhaps -10 on the summit. No real need for oxygen until around 8,000 metres. Denali (Alaska) is our next climb, which is regarded as the coldest mountain on earth. Denali will be a challenging climb. Jet-ski the Amazon, we thought perhaps swimming it :0)

I can’t believe you even took the ART Equity flag all that way and didn’t lose it either.
Well done. You told me 5 years ago you were going to do it and it appears you did
So how many more to go now, just Alaska? And when is the book coming out?
Have you been able to get much footage of this together along the way or is that not logistically possible?
Could make for a good 7 part series on YouTube. I know my kids would watch it.
I think you’ve done better than survivorman…he’d get half way up and say “there’s mountain lions up there….50 times…and then we’d never see one…and he’d light his tent on fire.
22,000 feet is massive- at what point does oxygen become required?
Frostbite- it doesn’t look cold….only a few spots of snow on the ground there. Does that suggest its a dry environment there? What temperatures are we talking?

So whats next? jet-ski the Amazon?

Success is actually hard work….but the sweetest success is when you have worked hard.

Why today do we have such an issue with you must give before you receive? Or, to put it another way, you cannot reap a harvest without first preparing the field; planting the seed; watering, fertilising and weeding along the way. Success requires working consistently hard and adjusting as required.
