7th SUMMIT FOR BILL ALLEN!

Mountain Trip co-owner Bill Allen just completed the Seven Summits yesterday with an ascent of Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe!

Bill, along with returning climber Ephi Gildor and fellow MT guide Con Sevaris reached the summit at a little after 8am local time. They had acclimatized for several days in the beautiful Cheget Valley before making their summit bid.

Bill is just a couple summits away from having completed the famed highest points on each continent twice, and has climbed most of the seven numerous times. In the past 13 months he has stood on top of Denali, Carstensz Pyramid, Aconcagua, Everest and Elbrus and with upcoming trips to both Vinson Massif and then Everest in 2011, he's not showing much sign of slowing down.

Special thanks to Ephi for choosing Mountain Trip for his go-to guide service for Elbrus as well as other climbs!
