In May 2010, Kurt ascended the steep glacial Lhotse Face to successfully reach Everest Camp 3 at 24,500 feet.
Unfortunately, Kurt sustained frostbite in his fingers while descending in the wind from Camp 3 and the attending doctor informed him he would not be able to continue with the expedition.
Kurt invites you to watch his Investment Lessons from Everest on YouTube, view his Everest photos, and read the complete Alpine Ascents dispatches.
