The Mountain I’m Climbing

by ShaunKing on August 18, 2010 · 6 comments

On Friday I am traveling to Washington state to go mountain climbing.  This big one in the back is one of the three mountains we’ll climb. I am going to be a part of a training team partnering with Alpine Ascents – the best mountaineering company in the world.

Pray for me :-)  I will be gone for 6 days camping on the mountain.  Phones generally won’t work.  I am hoping this will be the first step of a lifelong goal of climbing the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.

A part of my hope is to inspire all of you to climb the mountains you are facing in your own life.  As you may know, I have had many spinal surgeries and I never thought this type of physical feat would be possible for me.  I’ll find out if it is :-)

More details soon.

There's a Haitian proverb that says "Over mountains there are mountains" meaning once you climb one in life there's always another after that to climb.

This is quite a physical and mental challenge and i think you are up for the task. You're on my prayer list.

Shaun, best wishes and absolute prayers going your way for the endeavor! I was just in Seattle last week tackling a mountain (cancer) of my own at @SeattleCCA loved 68 degree high temp compared to ATL. I also put a email out to a friend from high school who is @howiemmandel 's manager, I'll try to hook you two up for Changing the Game if possible!

Tom
