Was a great time climbing with you all. A special shout out to my rope team members Harry, Kim, and guide Sean on getting to the top. This was an amazing time with a first class organization. Rick King (yea, one of the Wisconsin King brothers).

We are proud of our three sons and the gazelle.

And the guides and others unknown.

As parents, we insist that you take the descent seriously.
