In spring it is Everest, in the fall it is Cho Oyu serving as the most popular 8000m climbs. With unrest in Tibet and their own Olympic torch agenda, the Chinese restricted access the past two years but 2009 is back to normal with over 10 expeditions.

I have traditionally used this space for posting dispatches during my mountaineering expeditions and for updates on Alzheimer’s news and my fund raising activities. That will remain.

Ida Arnette passed away from Alzheimer’s disease on August 16, 2009. She struggled for over 8 years and was under hospice care at the end. We celebrated her life with friends and family this past weekend.
While it was expected, it is both a time of deep sadness for us and relief for her. She had lost her identity and independence towards the end.
I am pleased to announce new partners for Memories are Everything: The 7 Summits where we are raising $1M for Alzheimer’s care support and research in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association. International Mountain Guides (IMG) will lead the climbs and Outside Online will report on the climbs thus increasing the awareness and opportunity for fund raising. The first climb will be on the highest mountain in South America, Aconcagua at 22,841 feet or 6962 meters from January 31 to February 21, 2010.
