Hello! I have set up this site to show support for a great cause. 3 Summits is an anual benefit climb on glaciated peaks of the Pacific Northwest that raises funds to assist causes in Nepal. I met one of the founders, Jwalant Gurung, through a good friend from VA. As someone who loves the outdoors and is originally from Nepal, Jwalant decided to give back. I heard about the 3 Summits organization and decided it was a great way to help improve the lives of children living in Nepal. The funds we raise support housing and education to one of the poorest countries in the world. I was honored and lucky enough to be a part of the inaugural year! I summited Mt Rainier in Washington state that year. There were two other summits that year- Mt. Baker and Mt. Hood- that other supporters summited. Please help support the Mitrata organization. For more information please visit the following sites today!

A view West from the center of the summit crater with the moon still in plain view in the early hours of the day. In order to summit in good conditions, most hikers set their alarms for no later than 3 or 4 am on summit day.
