Salma Hayek summits Everest?!
Jun 2, 2004 17: 02 EST
"Has Salma called yet?" Jeff Justman of Mountain Link would call into the office from Everest and ask the crew this question all too often it seems. Unfortunately for Jeff Salma hasn't called, but we are still keeping our fingers crossed for him.
Mountain Link just sent this out; we're wondering what Salma thinks about all this:
"Mountain Link guide/climber Jeff Justman of Bend, Ore., made the summit of Mount Everest on May 16 and took with him to the top a photo of his favorite movie star Hayek. Along the way Justman and his team sent dispatches home Several of those included references to Hayek.
On May 7, dispatch 14, Jeff lists the top 10 things mountaineers (himself in this case) do with their down time. Number one on his list is “Deeply visualize pillow as Salma Hayek to stay warm on cold base camp nights!” On May 12, dispatch 16, Justman writes in to the Bend Mountain Link office asking, “Has Salma called yet?”
According to Jeff, he takes a photo of Hayek on each of his long expeditions for good luck. In addition to the Everest climb, he has also done so on Dhaulagiri and Manaslu.
'A Salma Hayek photo is one of the items I take with me on long expeditions because it helps me feel at home,' said Jeff. 'It’s something of a good luck charm. And she’s been with me all around the world.'
Said Jeff again, upon his arrival in the United States late Tuesday evening, “Has Salma called yet?”
Mountain Link has contacted Hayek’s publicist on Jeff's behalf."
Keep hope alive Jeff, she'll call one of these days...
