18,400' and the final summit for the team. Darol has climbed as far as his strength and equipment will take him. You can hear how heavy his breathing is from the altitude. Darol would have never made it without the love, support and encouragement from friends and family.

Great Job Darol. We're all cheering for you.
I think Webster's Dictionary has a new definition to publish........DAROL STRONG: Positive Energy; Postive Motivation; and Positive Inspiration.
Take it easy man, and we'll see you when you get back. I'm sure you've worked up an appetite for Stacey's cooking.
We Love You Man,
