The Ups and Downs of Going Up
As part of my always-random design job, earlier this year I was asked to design a small flag. While the flag itself wasn’t anything too exciting (just my company’s logo on a black background), the flag’s intended destination was. That’s right, everybody, I now have a connection (in a very small, “I’m not that adventurous” way) to…wait for it…Mt. Everest.
That’s right, if all goes well in the summit attempt, eventually I might have access to some pictures of my flag on top of the world. That basically makes me one step away from being on top of the world, right? The flag is being carried to the summit by Kevin, climber extraordinaire, author of KC Summits’ Everest Blog, and friend to the poo-bahs in my company who requested the flag (hence my involvement).
Honestly, I’ve adored the Everest Blog. Not only are the traditions fascinating, but the entire reading experience is tinged with a feeling of urgency—you’re really pulling for the guy, really hoping he’ll make it up the mountain.
He still hasn’t summited yet (mainly due to weather problems), so you’ve got time to catch up and enjoy the rest of the ride (and root for my flag). Enjoy!
