Pikes Climb Mt. Everest

View from the Top

Three Pikes from the University of Nebraska-Omaha reached the high goals they set for themselves, climping to the peak of Mt. Everest.

Pi Kappa Alpha brothers Dave Hospodka, Steve Massara and Brian DeVoss took a month-long trip across the world to climb the mountain. The brothers could only climb for 4 hours each day due to the extreme change in altitude.

"I thought, 'What better way to get halfway around the world than with some of my good friends?'" said Massara.

"By the time you get to the top you're at one of the highest villages in the world with three buildings and probably six people that live there," said DeVoss.

"You'll never have an opportunity to get away for the duration you could in college." Massara said. "If you can, do it when you're young."
