Ed Viesturs Climbs With SOLE
Ed Viesturs is a legendary high altitude mountaineer, having climbed many of the world's most challenging summits without the use of supplemental oxygen. He has ascendend Mount Everest six times. Most recently Ed completed his 16 year quest to climb all 14 of the world's highest mountains (above 8,000 meters) without the use of supplemental oxygen.
Ed is the personification of strength of will and determination.
"When I first attempt a Himalayan peak," Viesturs explains, "I climb without bottled oxygen, even if it keeps me from reaching the summit. My personal goal is to see how I can perform, to experience the mountain as it is without reducing it to my level. For me, how I reach the top is more important than whether I do."
