As I was hoping, I’ve been having some good conversations with some great people leading up to my departure. A lot of those conversation have focused on what I’ll actually be doing for the two months I’m in Nepal. Since I probably won’t have time to reach out to all of you before I leave I thought I’d post the rough itinerary for the climb. It will likely change up a bit due to weather, physical health, and whether or not I can stand my tent mate (obviously not vice versa). Take a look at the attached PDF and leave a comment with the day you think I’ll actually be making my summit bid. If you guess right I’ll make sure you get a signed copy of my next album!

Just looked over the schedule/itinerary. Suddenly this whole thing is becoming more real, and this kid of mine (who has obviously supplemented his ice cream regimen with a few too many slices of fruitcake) is shoving his parents into a pit of anxiety from which we may never fully recover. Actually….it’s a nervous excitement, knowing I’d love to be going there with you, but also knowing there’s no way I would have prepped as thoroughly as you. Live the dream, son–live the dream!!

I can’t afford your vices on an educator’s budget! 🙂 (That and about 12 other excuses.)

Here’s the problem… I was going to guess May 23rd upon reading your post; however, when I opened the itenerary I saw May 23rd as your summit day. Now I’m just not sure that can be right, but hopefully it is as that will mean a relatively seamless climb.

23 May is Sarah and my anniversary, so I hope it’s that day! (It’s also my half birthday 😉 ) I think your half birthday will be too late, or I would have picked that day. Disappointing.
