Thanks to ASRC for their generous support of the expedition

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. – William Arthur Ward

A big shout out to the great kids and staff at the NE Boys & Girls Club for their words of encouragement.

You’ve landed on the website dedicated to the 2013 Mount Everest expedition to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club in Barrow, Alaska and other statewide facilities. In late March, the team will assemble in Kathmandu to begin the trek to base camp, and then it’s up the Khumbu Icefall and the South Col route of Mount Everest.

Showing some Club kids what crampons are all about. No, they don’t work so well on tennis shoes, but they get the idea.

The site is updated regularly, so make sure to come back frequently for information on the climb itself, our generous sponsors, as well as how you can become a vital member of the team.

On the Tom Anderson Radio Show in early March.
