Pretty special time for us Christoffersons! We climbed from the base of the mountain in Thredbo, Australia and all stood arm-in-arm with him on Christmas day! It was just under 7 (somewhat harder than expected) hours roundtrip and we covered 13+ miles and over 3,100 feet of vertical! Here are some pictures:
Our arrival at the airport and the van we would be trapped in for long hours:
At the base of the mountain, after a 6+ hour drive down from the Blue Mountains (we got up at 1:30 am), and after 8 years of hard work--Anders and "The Crew" were ready to go:
Anders at the base of the Merrits Nature Trail, which is where the climb officially began:
Anders, Kara and Alex on the way up:
On the lower mountain it was very foggy!
Anders leading the way (a little mellower path up than Everest!):
A little more than 3 miles to go:
Kosi is just to the left of Anders in this picture:
Pictures of the Crew climbing upward:
We are all very proud of Anders--especially Mom:
And finally, we all touch the Summit pillar:
Anders joins the select few who have ever climbed all 7:
Our family's summit picture:
Some final pictures from our great day:
I'll post a little video in the next couple of days!
Onward and upward!
