This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Lhotse, as visible from the Solo Khumbu Valley. Everest is the mountain to its left in the back, appearing smaller than Lhotse because it is more distant. It is unclear to me whether the enormous face of Lhotse shown in this photograph has ever been climbed.
