Kevin Cherilla On Everest!

"Our camp is nestled tight against the mountain with a beautiful view of the north col and west ridge of our climb. We will spend the next four days here acclimitizing to the altitude. We will take small hikes around the glacier and up to the head wall which is our first big challenge. This is where the climbing will begin. This morning we had our puja ceremony. This is a Buddist ceremony in which we ask the mountain for our blessing to climb her. We have our ice axes, crampons, and harnesses blessed in order for us to have save passage. It is a touching momemt for all climbers and something we will always remember. It is also a time in which we have snacks as a gift and drink brandy, beer, and wine as part of the blessing.....

High Altitude

From MacGillivray Freeman Films, producers of the blockbuster hit Everest, comes the giant screen story of THE ALPS: its breathtaking beauty, harmonious culture, perilous avalanches and irresistible allure to a mountaineer on a personal journey to make peace with the mountain that killed his father.

“Against a backdrop of overwhelming natural beauty, The Alps is a true-life story of extraordinary courage,” says director Stephen Judson. “It’s the intensely personal journey of a man, John Harlin, who has every reason not to climb the deadly Eiger North Face – yet climb it he must.”

It’s an inspiring tale, coming to an IMAX theatre near you!

Grand Travels!

Multiple generations of family and friends traveling together is one of the fastest growing trends in the industry.
The tables have turned. Consider that today’s 70 million baby boomers are more fit and active than ever before. As parents and grandparents, they are more mobile than any previous generation. Today’s “older generation” is shunning retirement communities and seeking adventure and opportunity. Meanwhile, modern youth is struggling with high rates of obesity, diabetes and inactivity.

Heart Matters

I recently launched a new non-profit organization with a childhood friend. Both of us lost our mothers to cancer during the prime of their lives. My mother was in her early 50s. As a tribute to Ann and Eileen we have collaborated on Hearts In Bloom. Our primary mission is delivering fresh flowers to the patients within Hospice. We hope you will check out our early stage web presence to learn more. If you are in the Valley of the Sun, we hope you will join us!
