Carstensz Pyramid October 2008

I have just returned from completing the sixth of my seven summits quest: Climbing and reaching the top of Mount Carstensz in Indonesia; the continent of Oceania’s highest peak. It is the most unique and technically difficult of the seven summits, a fabulous expedition! So do go take a look at the photos and Blog. Also to mention, I also reached the top of Australia’s highest peak while on the other side of our planet, mount Kosciuszko. This was to eliminate the debate of what is the true continent and an excuse for to visit another part of our small world!

Kilimanjaro January 2009

I have agreed for the third time now to return to Kilimanjaro of Africa this coming January. I am helping to prepare and will accompany 14 individuals and 4 celebrities from Quebec, to go live their dream of reaching the top of Africa. And in return, each climber will help raise money for the Charles Bruneau Children’s Cancer Foundation. This climb will be televised, as a camera crew from TVA will also follow us throughout our journey. Do tune in this January 2009!

Everest Base Camp May 2009

Next May 2009, I will again be leading a group of 30 trekkers, but this time to Mount Everest Base Camp. Our group will take an incredible journey through the Khumbu Kingdom of Nepal, visit with the Sherpas in the Himalayas, the Buddhist monks and their monasteries and experience a whole different way of life, on the other side of our planet! Once again, we are doing this trek for charity, namely the Make-A-Wish Foundation for children with life threatening illnesses. Please view the following link for more information. If you are interested in joining, there are still a few spots available! http://www.makeawish.ca/chapter/quebec/news/read/1006 . This will be the fourth of my charity climbs, and combined, I will have helped raise over $ 1 million for sick children! Keeping a promise I made at the top of Everest!
