sean2.jpg (24815 bytes) If Sean summits he will prove many wrong, but we sense he is here for the journey not the Summit. 

Sean Swarner, a very determined young man will attempt Everest this Spring 2002, on an Expedition as you can see, organized by Wongchu Sherpa, on a fully guided expedition, without a western leader, which we believe will be a first. 

Should Sean go? Frankly, we told him not too ! Yes, the first climber we ever told, don't do this ! But Sean's reply, is that "If I don't do if now, I never will. I am 27, and in a few years there won't be time. I have the time and this is my chance, my time ...

Sean, in surviving Cancer we believe has build up a "front", it takes a lot time to get past the "front". We believed one day on the phone for about 2 hours, we saw and heard the man inside Sean Swarner. He is determined. He will probably surprise us all, we just hope he makes it back down....
