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.

Nepal, James's Frostbite, 1995 - James Allen was the youngest member of our Everest team in 1995. He became the youngest Australian at that time to summit the mountain. On the famed Second Step (near where Mallory met his end), James took off his outer glove for one minute. Even though he still had on his inner gloves, he got frostbite. They say the after-effects of frostbite are very painful. James lost only a small portion of his two frostbitten fingers.
