Everest[edit]

Richard Pattison climbed Everest on a commercial expedition organised by Summitclimb via the South Col route from Nepal. The team summitted on 19 May 2009. He said of Everest:

Climbing is my passion, I realised my life time dream in the Himalayas when I stood on top of the world. I summitted Everest on 19 May 2009, it had been a long journey, slowly building up experience, skills and the mental toughness required to attempt such a great challenge. My summit day on Everest defines my life, no matter what I do in the future, I will never move beyond or past Everest.
