Do you recognize this man? No, not Rik - the other guy!

Does this help? He is famous for climbing this...



Another hint? This is Mount Everest....

Ok - since you're probably not up on your Everest climbers - it is Ed Viesturs. He has climbed Everest 6 times - over half without supplemental oxygen! He's either crazy or impressive!

Anyway, Ed was in town this past week and Rik got to go hear his presentation. He had lots of pictures and stories about his adventures. In the end, he did get to meet the man too!

But, the coolest part about the whole evening for me? He got a raffle ticket for going to this and got his number pulled - not for a cool backpack or any of the other neat gear they were giving away - but this...



In red - for me - a ladies fleece jacket - I tried it on and it's really warm! I wish it would quit being 95º here so I could wear it!
