So, what about Everest ?

Well, it is a high mountain. And I want to stand on the summit.

Why, you might ask?
Let me try to explain.
I have had some 32 job's during my lifetime, I have 9 kids with three different girlfriends/one wife and I have been a entrepreneur since I was 24 years old.
Some of my companies has been successful, as when I used climbing equipment for rope access work, painting towers and high buildings in Sweden back in the 80th. The most successful time (regarding money) was when I with my family/relatives built the company Act Safe producing harnesses and rescue equipment for industrial purpose.
Working to hard, and to many hours per day, I finally turned and nowadays I spend much more time skiing, Hiking, Climbing and Mountaineering.
I have been lucky in life, privileged to be born in a rich part of the world where people in reality never have to be scared or hungry. I hope that this will be the reality for more people in the world in the future.
I feel as the things I do, sometimes slightly different, can encourage persons around me to enjoy life. Now I am 52, my father is 80 and my youngest sun is 2.

Some month ago my friend Keun-Young Park invited me to attend in a expedition for Everest, and I didn't have to think twice.

Not as high as Himalayan, but beautiful, the ridge from Dente del Gigante to Dôme de Rochefort.
