Newburyport: Ally Scholtz, 11, does some rock climbing at MetroRock Climbing Gym in a program for children as Sean Swarmer looks on Wednesday afternoon. Swarner is the first and only cancer survivor to reach the summit of Mount Everest; he had stage 4 lymphoma, which very few people live from. He talked to Newburyport High students and later watched a climbing demonstration afterward as part of the grand opening of the Newburyport Cancer Center.
