Wow! Adding my voice to the chorus of congrats!

Most excellent, congratulations on achieving a long-sought goal!

Well done, Alan!

It's been a treat to follow along with your blog posts. Congrats!

Way to go Alan!! I know you have tried a couple of times, and I so happy for you to finally realize your goal and stand on the roof of the World!

Congratulations Alan, know you really wanted this.

Thanks everyone! Yes after 3 attempts in the past 9 years, I finally got it. But it was hard work. I am still amazed at my time from the South Col - 7:40 and 3:20 back. I trained especially hard the previous 18 months and had many other things going for me such as motivation relative to my Alzheimer's fund raising and the memory of my mom. You can read the dispatches and a summit night report on my site at www.alanarnette.com. As usual I will post a season recap here on SP. Thanks again!

Never quit! Good job.

Now, what is next... El Cap?

Alan, this is the most wonderful news. It really warms my heart to hear this.

Congrats, Alan! What a huge accomplishment and mile stone! I' am very happy for you!
