What is your Everest?

Meet Scott Parazynski, he is a NASA astronaut, reached the summit of Everest, has ventured down the mouth of a volcano and did one of the most dangerous space walks in the history.

Although my life goals are no where near those of Parazynski’s, his story absolutely fascinates me. It’s crazy what can be accomplished when you stretch your limits.

Of course, even though I admire adventurers like Parazynski, I also know about the underside of pushing limits through stories like Jay Moriarity, famous surfer who drowned while free diving or Jason Wells and Tim Klein, Yosemite climbers who fell to their deaths while climbing El Capitain in Yosemite National park.  And of course some of my own close calls climbing in the Alps.

So I ask you, what are some of your craziest adventure fantasies?
