The Passion for Climbing Everest

Eddie Taylor is a high school teacher and track and field coach. He was not interested at all in climbing Everest but Phil got him on board with the project. By 2020, Phil had formed a team Eddie, Deena, Fred Campbell, Minoa, Abbie Dion, Rosemary Saul, Thomas Moore, Evan Green, Don Mullins and Phil's longtime friend and legendary Kenyan climber James K. G. Kajabi. The team was diverse in region climbing backgrounds and age but everyone had lived climbing.
