Last November I was spending the Sunday night reading the forums on www.DropZone.com when an unusual ad banner popped up for Skydive Everest. I clicked on the link, as you do and found an adventure for the first group of skydivers to exit over Everest and land at a close by drop zone. Early the next day I had sent a deposit to the organizers in England for myself to jump and my wife, Pia to observe. What have I got myself into this time!

We took care of business and added another first to the Everest region. Now, onto something else! Stay Tuned, we don't just stop because we got the job done!
Simon says...
After coming up with his own list of the “Top 10 Things to Accomplish Before I Die”, the software consultant found himself rewriting his list when he knocked off the first five or so too quickly. Holding scuba diving and sky diving certificates, a pilot’s license, running three marathons, and hiking the Grand Canyon in both directions in 24 hours, the 33-year-old realized that in order to live life, you must simplify your life. He now guides others to do the same.
On February 23rd 2002 Simon had a wreck whilst snowboarding. He crashed into a tree on Breckenridge Peak 9. Thanks to the help of the Ski Patrol he was taken to the medical center for attention. After x-rays were reviewed he was told that both his wrists and left femur were badly fractured.
A keen distance runner he asked how long it would be before he could run again, he was told that it was unlikely that he would. Within 6 months Simon crossed the Grand Canyon in a single 12 hour hike. He was snowboarding again at the start of the next season. He still has feeling missing from his left leg.
