Alan Arnette’s Mystery on Denali

My good friend Alan Arnette has a story that has been well-featured on the front page of the SummitPost site.  “Mystery on Denali” is Alan’s take on his recent trip to the highest peak in North America and the troubles that ensued..

Most of my readers will already know of this story as I done quite a bit of coverage as Alan was embarked on this expedition.  Other’s of you may want to head on over to either SummitPost or Alan’s Personal Site to find out what all the mystery is about..

Remember, Alan has began a true test of will and spirit–mind and body.  In 2008, Alan is hoping to go for the peak of the world’s tallest mountain Mt. Everest, for a third time.  Health has turned him back twice…but Alan has a way of picking himself back up and trying again.

Alan is doing all of this in the name of his charity.  He pockets no money.  All money will be sent to aid in Alzheimer’s Research.  You may also find out more on all of this over at Alan’s site as well.

I do want to add that Alan emailed me recently and told me that his problems have pretty much come out fine.  After conferring with numerous doctors and specialists over the past month, he has been given a clean bill of health…as well as a clean bill for the cash he owes them..haha.  We wish Alan the best of luck here at The Adventurist, and we will be following along in 3 weeks as Alan begins his journey to Shisha Pangma..the world’s 14th tallest peak, for stage two of this amazing adventure.
