May 25 | Erickson: Audio Dispatch, Summited This Morning Bright and Early

By Kris Erickson

Click play above to listen to an audio message from Kris Erickson who was at Camp 4 after summiting Mount Everest.

It’s Kris calling from the South Col on Mount Everest. Just wanted to give you an update and let you know that Hilaree, myself, Sam, Emily and Mark Jenkins all summited this morning bright and early.

It was very cold and windy, but rather beautiful at the same time.

We’re all back here at the South Col. Hilaree and I are resting up and we are going for Lhotse at midnight tonight. So, wish us the best. We’ll give you an update from Camp 2 when we get there tomorrow and hopefully we’ll have summited Everest and Lhotse in one 24-hour period.

GO HILAREE GO!!! You are a FREAK of nature! I sure hope they study the heck out of you and give me some of your blood so I can figure out how to get off the couch!! Ha ha ha!! So proud of you!! Your boys will someday know what an incredible Momma they have (well, they already know how incredible you are as a momma) and soon they'll realize how super special you are as an athlete!!
Thanks for allowing us all to take this journey with you!

Many people feel playing golf is one of the most splendid ways of how you can spend a vacation. Whether you are an amateur or an expert golfer, challenging golf courses will never fail your enthusiasm and interest.
