"Well, we knocked the bastard off !"
Edmund Hillary, on first climbing Mount Everest


Some people get excited about meeting Rock stars in person, not me! I get excited meeting badass people who do amazing things like Tim Medvetz who climbed Mt. Everest!
I was running down Mt. Wilson Saturday and I hear someone call my name. It was Tim Medvetz one of my idols. He is on his quest to climb the seven summits. He is raising money and taking wounded vets. up mountain peaks. i think that is awesome. Here is a link to his site. hero's project

I think what Tim is doing is amazing. I am going to get the pleasure of hiking with this badass in a couple of weeks.

That is really neat that you met Tim. I watched him every week on TV as he tackled Mount Everest. He does look really tall.Very cool Catra.
