As they say in the mountains, it's time we moved onward and upward!  All the weather forecasts, our health, our motivation and our spirit say it is time to ask for permission to stand on top of Mount Everest. In approximately 5 hours (on May 17th your time), myself, Gary Scott, Nima Dawa, Da Nima, Namgya, Karma, Pem Tenji will begin our ascent straight to Camp Two.  The day after, we will rest at Camp Two and then ascend the Lhotse Face to Camp Three and then onto Camp Four.  All being well, we'll make our early morning summit on May 21st, nearly 50 years since the first successful ascent. 

There have been so many people - climbers, sherpa, supporters - who have made it possible for people like myself, people with a disability, to fulfill their dreams.  For those who support the potential of all people, you are the special ones - thank you.   

We are proud to be Americans and this expedition is proud to support the dreams of all people, regardless of their ability or their disability. The freedom to explore and to fulfill goals should be enjoyed by every single person in the world. 

God Bless America and God Bless Texas. 

Talk to you from the top of the world! Gary Guller
