blog: martin goes to mount everest


chip made it to the summit

As you have heard by now, Chip made it to the summit on Thursday and is now coming down Mt. Everest! Before Chip made it to the summit, we had a video conference with him. It was very cool because we were talking to a man climbing Mt. Everest. The signal for the video dropped, but when we got back in touch with him, (about five to ten minutes later), his hands were freezing to his laptop and he also had to go eat dinner. He said that the hardest part about Mt. Everest was the mental part, (climbing it is also hard, but not as challenging as the mental part). When Chip gets back from Everest he will be coming to our school for an assembly.

What an amazing experience. Bet you are enjoying "going along on the climb"

Jenny, I think we would all like to see a compliation of the pics/blogs throughout the trip. Chips adventure has been so well received on GOLO that perhaps WRAL would be interested in featuring it.
