Alan Arnette is an alpinist, speaker, and Alzheimer's advocate. In 2011, he summited Mount Everest on his way to completing the 7 summits in less than 11 months to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimers research. Alan is also the oldest American to summit K2 which he did on his 58th birthday. Alan is in the process of raising one million dollars for Alzheimer's research by climbing all 8000m peaks in the Himalaya. Outside Magazine cited Alan as the "most respected voice on Everest", which is almost as impressive as being selected as a MTNmeister.
"There are a thousand reasons to stop and only one to go on."
