This past May a good friend of mine, Doug Pierson, successfully climbed and summited Mount Everest.  I was privileged enough to hear Doug speak upon his return.  The stories of his travels and the climb were awe inspiring.  At the end of his talk he shared the video below.  I encourage you to take a few moments and watch his recording of this incredible event.  And for those of you who are interested in discovering more you can read Doug’s blog and also check out PBS’s coverage of his climb.
