Ed Viesturs and the 8K Quest

Steady Ed and the Kingdom in the Clouds

After a flawless, no-worries summit day, Ed Viesturs and his crew have returned to home. We spoke with Ed about his climb, problems of filming on Everest, and the tragic storm from which he helped rescue other climbers.

Ed ran out of time and couldn't climb Manaslu as he'd hoped. Instead, he'll relax this summer and look forward to guiding an ascent next autumn of Cho Oyu, the world's sixth highest peak.


We'll have regular reports from the mountain :
