President and CEO Doug Youngdahl displayed the brand atop Japan's Mount Fuji in 2003. And now in 2004 Blue Diamond has reached the highest pointin the world in the hands of Dale Darling, export sales manager. He flew the Blue Diamond banner from the summit of Mt. Everest -29,035 feet above sea level! Darling made the daring climb in April and May, going the final distance the night of May 22 to reach the summit at 9:45 a.m. May 23.
