Welcome to Alan Arnette’s blog, home for his expedition dispatches, coverage of the Everest <\/a>seasons, climbing news, and Alzheimer’s<\/a>. If you are one of my millions of visitors, welcome back. Visit the About<\/a> page for information on this site.<\/p>\n

I dedicate my work to those with Alzheimer’s Disease and my mom, Ida Arnette<\/a>, who died on August 16, 2009, from Alzheimer’s. Your donations<\/a> to one of the selected Alzheimer’s non-profits go 100% to the non-profits, none ever to me.<\/p>\n

My site’s climbing content has dedicated sections for my major climbs, including a trip report, FAQs, pictures, videos, and short stories. There are climbing resources that list my gear<\/a>, training<\/a> ideas, links to guides<\/a>, and website\u00a0links<\/a>. A good resource is to compare the climbs from Rainier to Everest<\/a> or the 7 Summits <\/a>in easy-to-read tables.<\/p>\n

“When I came to Alan, I had absolutely no climbing experience, and I only dreamed of climbing Mount Everest as a teenager. Initially, I thought I\u2019d look stupid being 18, having no experience, and wanting to climb Everest, but Alan was extremely welcoming and supportive right off the bat. Despite my initial inexperience and being out of shape, Alan provided me with all of the insights and training I would need to summit Mount Everest at 19. He guided me every single step of the way, all the way to the top, and I\u2019m extremely grateful to have a coach and mentor like him. He truly gives great advice, insights, and knowledge about mountaineering and what it takes to climb the world\u2019s highest peaks. I seriously couldn\u2019t have done it without him!”<\/strong><\/div>\n
