Climbing Mount Everest at 69 years young!!!

Silver Director Werner Berger Climbs Mount Everest

Canadian businessman and USANA Silver Director, 69-year-old Werner Berger, is on the final leg of his quest to become the oldest North American to ever climb Mount Everest. Having already reached the summit of Mt. McKinley—North America’s highest point—in 2006, as well as previous successful summits of Mt. Aconcagua (South America), Mt. Kilimanjaro (Africa), Mt. Elbrus (Europe), Vinson Massif (Antarctica), and Mt. Kosciuzsko (Australia), Werner is well prepared for this ultimate challenge of tackling Everest. In a message from Base Camp, Werner writes, “As I stand here in the midst of the grandeur of the Himalayan mountains and the generosity of the Sherpa people, I find it indescribable to express the depth of what I see and feel. I only wish that each of you will some day have the opportunity to experience the magnificence of this creation.” As he now enters the final stretch of his trek toward the highest point on earth, Werner is confident in his health and wholeheartedly acknowledges USANA for the integral role it has played in his expedition. “Each day, as I take another step along this trail, I realize that it is through my having taken the USANA products for the past 12 years, Werner declares. “It has truly given me the ability to enjoy this splendor and has made possible this attempt at reaching the summit of the world’s highest mountain.”
