Reaches Top of Mt. Everest!
Congratulations to Dan Lochner of the Prostate Cancer Climb and his partner Dan Meggitt who summitted the north side of Mt. Everest on May 19, 2004. If he accomplishes Mt. Vinson in Antarctica this fall, the 22-year-old Lochner will become the youngest person ever to climb all Seven Summits. For Dan’s heroic tale and short video, please click here

Below: Lochner, the Prostate Cancer Climb Seven Summits Ambassador, and his partner with the American flag on top of Everest.
Climbing the Seven Summits is a remarkable achievement as only 113 people in the world have accomplished the goal. Dan’s motivation is simple. He’s had several family members stricken by prostate, breast and skin cancer and says he wants to do all he can to help fight the disease any way possible. Dan must climb Mt. Vinson in Antarctica by November 2004 to beat the current Seven Summits record for youngest climber, but he cannot accomplish his goal and bring renewed recognition to the Prostate Cancer Climb without adequate funding.
