Bio

mt. everest ta call

Hi… my name is Jim Curtin.

First, let’s set some expectations. Unlike some of my fellow Everest climbers, I am not an elite athlete nor have I set any mountaineering records – and have no plans to for the time being. I will not be the fastest up Mount Everest and won't be attempting to climb Everest backwards.

Like a lot guys you’ll see around the neighborhood, I mow the lawn in the summer, rake the leaves in the fall and take my dog for a walk. Her name is Lucy. She’s an Australian shepherd mix rescued from the pound and comes with a great amount of spunk, a friendly attitude and an eagerness to be my training partner.

I also have an amazing wife who supports me in my pursuits like Everest.

I’ve been fortunate to have some nice work credentials under my belt that are the byproducts of hard work, good timing, and a bit of luck. It is largely because of this factor that I can set aside some time at the age of 36 to go for Everest.

Though the question remains: Can a regular, hard-working guy with a friendly dog and a great wife be a match for the mighty Everest?

Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed hearing you present on the TA call the other night. It's amazing how thin the air is up there! 5 or 6 breaths per step - wow! Hope all is going well. Cheers!

Hey Jim! I am Alok Bastakoti from Nepal. Can we communicate? My phone number is 00977-1-4434846. Please, try reaching me. I have a home in Pokhara and Kathmandu. The hotel you stay at in Kathmandu i.e. Yak n Yeti is just 15 minutes away from my home. I want to meet you if it is possible for you so that we can work together for what we can do for the best of Nepal.
