Indiana Doctor Scales Last Of The Seven Summits

This news report is coming from WTHI TV from Terre Haute, Indiana.  You can read the accompanying article here.

Less than 200 people have summitted all seven of the Seven Summits.  I find it interesting that Dr. Gregory Konrath’s objective has recieved very little press in Indiana (my home state).  As far as I know, this is the only report I have seen in regards to Dr. Konrath and his Seven Summits bid.  It is also very cool that he decided to save the easiest for last, and summit with his son.  His son is already planning on joining his father as a future Seven Summits climber.  With Mt. Kosciuszko out of the way, that leaves six more (including Everest).  That could be a big goal for a 10 year old.
