Summary
Jeff Glasbrenner has goals. Big ones. As he summited Aconcagua, his guide suggested he climb Everest. Why not? So he did. Now, not only does he have his sights set on the seven summits, but he is also planning on skiing to both the north and south poles. Jeff is a motivational speaker who inspires us to live our dreams, no matter what our challenges may be. You see, Jeff has only one leg. Thanks, Jeff, for a great Everest trip report! And thanks for reminding us to live life large!
