Interesting, have you been to Antarctica, just curious.

No, not Antarctica. North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australis]a. The highest peak I have summitted was Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Andes by the difficult Polish Glacier Route that took 21 days beginning to end. The highest mountain I have attempted was Cho Oyu in the Himalayas, the 6th highest peak in the world and just west of Everest. I helped get gear to about 18,500 ft and caught a cold that was going around that turned to pneumonia at that altitude. I had to go lower to recover. We got our first 5 to the summit. The next day I was to be the second team to try and they got shut down by very high wind. Even if I did not get sick I would not have had a chance.

Only Jon Cary does something like that, on the governments dime. That's the only continent I haven't been on, waiting for the government to pay for my boondoggle too.
