 First off, congratulations to the Kumbu adventure gear team. I know this is a dream and this is just a wonderful to be part of this. So my name is Alan Arnett and I live here in Fort Collins. And they've been gracious enough to ask me to come and help to open the store. And one of the reasons they asked me to come was that I've done a lot of climbing around the world and a lot of times in the Kumbu. My first trip to the Kumbu was in 1997. And I've been back, I can't remember now, seven or eight times and four different times climbing on Mount Everest. And so I'm going to talk a little bit about climbing Mount Everest. But right now I want to start off with a little bit about why I do what I do, why I climb around the world. I my mother, Ida, who you'll see here in a moment on this video, she developed Alzheimer's. And my mother's name was Ida Arnett. Why do you say that? Well, it's ironic, not true. No, I'm sorry. Well, you must like that name. I do. I love that name because that's my mother's name. Oh, it's not. It is. I'll never know. You know, you know, deep down, you know, I just I'm so happy I have these videos of my mom because it helps me to remember my mom. And she was a really special lady. And then I'm going to then we're all going to go climb Mount Everest together. How's that sound? The secret to going across these ladders is you keep your eye focused on your boot and on the rung of the ladder, not on the on the the bottom of the crevasse down below. You get up here and, you know, you spend the night getting ready to go up higher. But the views are just absolutely beyond beyond the world. And you do that for about 12 hours. You know, every ounce of your body is screaming out. You know, I trained really hard in 2010. I climbed 30 of our Colorado 14ers with about a 40, 50 pound pack. And, you know, I'm 54 years old. This whole body was holding up pretty good, but still my legs are screaming. I was a climatized as best I could. But, you know, you're going up through this and it's just everything you can do to keep your mind focused on keeping on going. Whoa, this is Alan calling from the summit of Mount Everest. It's a sunrise here. It's just absolutely beautiful. It's about five a.m. I want to dedicate this summit to my mom. I do all the other Alzheimer's. We all love you and we miss you. Climb on. This is Alan. I'm going to raise her everything.
