A HUGE thank-you and congratulations to the film production crew! I’m astounded at the production value that you’ve accomplished at 17,500+ feet. It deserves to win some awards in the coming year.

Have been following this blog since receiving email notice of same in April from Eddie Bauer. What a privilege to share your experience as you climbed to the highest place on earth. Thank you for providing us with such detailed descriptions of your adventure. I feel I made the climb with you (in the comfort of my home). The film and pictures were outstanding and the prose and dialog second to none!
Thanks for the past month and congratulations to both teams for your success!
From Halifax , NS

These few months has been possibly the best action-drama ever. These dispatches have been so motivational. I have even been inspired to get outside more. I now have the dream and the life goal to go to Rainier for a summit climb. This has helped motivate me in getting into shape. In June, my team at R-400 is going to hike Crazy Horse Monument and later in the summer, Harney Peak. First Ascent Team, feel free to stop in South Dakota and join us for a hike in the Black Hills.

The first chapter of this novel has been written. We can only imagine how the next one will start. I will be rereading this first chapter, this First Ascent, for years to come.Thank you again to all of those involved. We are grateful!
Safe travels home.

I am so glad to be able to experience this amazing story over the past couple of months, and I am so glad that the team was able to complete the expedition! Now it is time to get home to all those who have missed you, travel safe, and once again congrats on an awesome climb!
