Re: Alan Arnette summits K2
Amazing accomplishment Alan...I've been thinking about you the last few weeks wondering if you'd get a good window to summit. Very happy to hear you got to the top of one of the most treachorous peaks in the world and to support a worthwhile cause! Cheers and hope you get home safely.
