The team plans to make the summit on January 1, 2005. The team consists of:

Professionals Balsigers
Tap Richards Chris and Christy
Heidi Richards Avery and Camille
  Joey, Heather and Andrew

The featured climber of this adventure will be Chris and Christy's 10-month old grandson, Andrew. The plan is for Andrew to walk some and be "short-carried" the last few steps to the top and claim his first of the Seven Continental Summits, assuming his rightful place as the foremost 10-month old mountaineer in the world.

Jan 1

The entire group got the summit of Kosciuszko. It was about a little less than half the day and pretty strong wind conditions, but was relatively an easy trek. My grandson made it to the top to get his first and everyone was happy. Wasn't much of a challenging climb, but it was a beautiful climb in a beautiful part of Australia, so everyone was happy.
