Great job Alan! Happy birthday! You did this for a great cause. Both of my grandparents have Alzheimer's, I appreciate everything you do!

There’s impressive and then there’s … IMPRESSIVE! And your efforts regarding Alzheimer’s eclipse even that. Congrats all fronts.

Nice job Alan! Incredible accomplishment.

Congratulations Alan!
A guide from an Alpine Ascents Mountaineering class I participated in 3 years ago said that he didn't have a great deal of respect for the highest peak on each continent. The 2nd highest peak on each continent on the other hand definitely got his respect!
K2 is the crown jewel!
