Kathmandu – The watchmaker Michael Kobold and his team reached the summit of Mt. Everest yesterday morning. It is the second time in two years that the Pittsburgh-based adventurer has reached the summit of the world’s highest mountain. Kobold, his wife Anita, Ang Namgel Sherpa, Thundu Sherpa, Dr. Robert Casserley and Kenton Cool reached the summit at 7:30 AM local time. “It felt great to be back on the summit. We are doing this to raise money for the families of injured and fallen Navy SEALs. Hopefully, this will motivate people to donate to them,” said Mr. Kobold in a telephone call after returning to Base Camp late this evening, Nepal time. Mr. Kobold and his team raised a flag depicting the Navy SEAL trident atop the summit in honor of wounded and fallen SEALs. Kobold, who is leading the 2010 Everest Challenge Expedition in support of the Navy SEAL Warrior Fund, was trained for approximately two months on the SEAL base in Coronado, California ahead of his adventure in Nepal.
The team’s financial mission is to raise $250,000 for the Navy SEAL Warrior Fund from members of the general public. The Navy SEAL Warrior Fund is a 501c3 charitable organization that provides financial aid for the families of SEALs who are wounded or have fallen in action. The U.S. Navy SEALs are regarded as the most well-trained fighting force in the U.S. Armed Forces. Each Navy SEAL must complete a grueling 7-month-long program that tests his mental and physical toughness and endurance. Last year, a group of Navy SEALs volunteered to train Mr. Kobold when they learned of his ambition to raise money for the Navy SEAL Warrior Fund.
