Does anyone know who he is? I met him today at Mac Christian School and He is awesome. If you don't know who he is, he has climbed every highest elevation in the United States(all 50 states) and has been on Mt. Mckinley, the highest mountain in Alaska and North America. He has only one leg, with an artificial leg, and he believes in God and believes that God helps him through everything. He climbed all the 50 mountains in 67 days, beating the record thast was 101 days from a British man. He is so cool. If you can find his book, that is called "More than Mountains" then you should definetly read it! It is cool. I can't read it till Monday, but I am going to read it, so you should too. If you can find it.

That's cool, when you get done with his book, you should read Lost on Everest: The Search for Mallory & Irving.

Thanks! I will try to get to the library and look it up and read it. I don't get to the library much becasue of school and how far from civilization I am at. I live in the woods and have no friends to play with around my house. I will read it. Thanks again.

I have the utmost respect for people who climb mountains. I've climbed a few in my lifetime and probably wouldn't care if I never do again!
