Need to hurry and send you a batch of My Pietrack Matza ball Soup. That will take care of that hill you have in front of you. Two bowls and your a lock. Everyone knows that Matza ball soup is the Big Guy's soup of choice, and lets get as much of HIS help as possible. All my prayers are for you and your comraedes. love Christa http://www.jonkeverest.org/blog/2012/05/22/Post-31-Back-Into-the-Death-Zone-2nd-Summit-Attempt.aspx christa pietrack 5/22/2012 6:05:00 PM Jon, It sounds like your "new" climbing group will be your ticket to the top of the world. Please be safe, speedy, and SAFE on your ascent and descent. Just look ahead to next week when you will be sitting down in the village safe and sound reminiscing about your biggest accomplishment of your life. The rest of the world is praying for you all....God Bless You!

God Bless, MOM http://www.jonkeverest.org/blog/2012/05/22/Post-31-Back-Into-the-Death-Zone-2nd-Summit-Attempt.aspx Mom 5/22/2012 9:11:00 PM Jon, I know you have been at the 14,000 foot altitude enough times in your hiking days and this Peak is more than twice that elevation. I like your new game plan of not stopping too long at the higher Base Camps so you can keep a steady pace to the Summit. I do not want to sound selfish but I hope enough people have left so you don't get in a traffic jam again. I believe that if the wind stays below 40 mile an hour and not too many people are on the trail you will be fine. It's when you have to stop so much for climbers in the way that really disrupts your momentum. I mean in the critical areas there aren't any passing lanes. Stay Focused, See You soon...Love Dad http://www.jonkeverest.org/blog/2012/05/22/Post-31-Back-Into-the-Death-Zone-2nd-Summit-Attempt.aspx Dad 5/22/2012 9:49:00 PM You're on my mind... My Bad!

You probably gave him his biggest laugh of the day. Christopher will second that it's the best soup in the world.

Jon has a lot of family and friends who have been behind him since day one. As Jon's mother, I appreciate all the other moms out there who have taken care of him growing up, cheered him on while he is there and will be here for him when he returns.
