(I think that might be what I would miss the most on a 2 month adventure, climbing the big "E". Down the road, I would like to e-mail you regarding climbing Rainier. (Although I don't plan on attempting a climb for a year or two.) Cheers - MC Hi Brenda

Everyone on my E-mail list sends their congrats. Enjoy the free food and have a drink on me and your Mom. Your mother can't wait for you to return, so she can make you some kimcha and rice and Korean soup. Guy, the new kitten, is waiting to meet his sister. Your next endeavor should be deep sea diving, so you could have bragging rights that you went to the bottom and top of the earth. Enjoy your free time and we will see back here in Spanaway.

Though it’s difficult to find just the right words to commend you for your amazing success at Everest and as one of your biggest fans, allow me an attempt in only a few sentences (good luck!). Brenda, you are simply in a class of your own – arguably one of the best climbers and guides in the world today! If anyone were to question this thought, let’s just review your most recent accomplishments! Moreover, if guiding and summitting were Olympic events, you would most assuredly hold gold medals – time and time again. I hope you have the opportunity to visit Rum Doodle in Kathmandu to place your signature among the many names that have climbed before you. When next I visit, I will stand in awe and admiration of your accomplishments! The staff of Shape Your Life congratulates you and very much looks forward to working with you as we create a myriad of adventures for our clientele at Mt. Rainier as well as at many other adventurous locations around the globe. You’ve even inspired me to consider (operative word) an attempt to one day, perhaps, make it to Everest’s C2. And, Greg, I congratulate you on your own extraordinary success at Everest, and thank you for keeping us all apprised of Brenda’s climb and summit. In closing and once again, Brenda, I can’t imagine being guided or sharing adventures on any mountain with anyone else! Safe travels back home. Tashi Delek, Kathy Soverow Brenda,

Kuzuzangpola!

]]> Comment on Details Regarding Brenda’s Climb by MC http://verascapes.com/?p=78#comment-63 Tue, 23 May 2006 05:33:50 +0000 http://verascapes.com/?p=78#comment-63 Greg Thank you for relaying Brenda's trip report. I was surprised that the 2 sherpas took down the tent so quickly and more importantly packed up the stove. Brenda was fortunate that she did not dehydrate more seriously. But on the positive side...what a great climb, summit and descent of the tallest mountain in the world. Phenomenal job, Brenda. MC Greg
