A Colorado patent lawyer died Monday while descending from the summit of Mount Everest, the second American in as many weeks to die during the peak climbing season on the world's highest mountain. They told the station he reached the summit in ideal weather conditions Monday morning and saw the sunrise. The family also said Kulish was trying to join the so-called Seven Summits club by climbing the highest peak on each continent. Mount Everest was all that stood between Kulish and the successful completion of his quest. Last week, 55-year-old Don Cash, from Utah, died of altitude sickness near the Hillary Step while descending from the summit.
