Answering The Call of the Mountains Later in Life - Alan Arnette

Many mountain climbers grow up in the habit of climbing rock faces and mountains well before they're in their late 30's. But Alan Arnette waited until he was 38 to climb his first mountain, and quickly fell in love with the feeling of achievement - tempered by the pain - of conquering 8,000 meter peaks. He recently successfully climbed his sixth mountain of that height, the nearly 27,000 foot Manaslu, the world's eighth highest peak.
