I felt very well prepared as a result of my training but also felt I was able to apply my previous 8000m experiences in a way that I had not been able to in the past.<\/p>\n<p>I was extremely pleased with Phil Crampton and Altitude Junkies. They provided the right amount of support without being overbearing. And their food was amazing. I did not loose weight for the first time on a big climb.<\/p>\n<p>People always ask what&#8217;s next. Well, to be honest, I don&#8217;t know. I have dreams and will see if I can make them real but if I only climb here in Colorado, that will be fine &#8211; there are many peaks I have not touched, routes to be explored and skills to be developed. I understand how fortunate I have been to have climbed where and what I have.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, while the objective is to climb a mountain, my teammates made this climb especially enjoyable. Please enjoy a few pictures below.<\/p>\n<p>As always, I want to ask that if you enjoyed following my climb, please consider making a donation to one of the Alzheimer&#8217;s non-profits. 100% to them and nothing ever to me.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/alzheimer\/donate.php\" target=\"blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Please Donate for Alzheimers Today\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/images\/buttons\/donate100alzheimersround.gif\" width=\"110\" height=\"40\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>OK, take a visit to the report and pictures.
