The HIMALI Podcast Episode 3: Ed Viesturs and HIMALI CoFounder, Tendi Sherpa talk about the development and progression of Himalayan High-Altitude MountaineeringIn this Episode, Ed Viesturs and Tendi Sherpa talk about how high altitude mountaineering in the Himalayas has changed over almost 50 years and the importance of humility, ego, and decision making when on Mount Everest and other 8,000ers.About the Guests:Ed Viesturs is an owner, athlete, and designer at HIMALI. He is best known for becoming the first (and to date the only) American to summit all 14 of the 8,000m peaks, without the use of supplemental oxygen - putting him in a stratospheric category of mountaineers. He calls this 18 year long project “Endeavor 8000”, coming up with the idea after becoming the first American to summit the 'Big Three' - Everest, K2, and Kangchenjunga.Tendi Sherpa is the CoFounder of HIMALI and has summited Mt. Everest a staggering 18 times - an exceptionally grounded man, driven not by fame or glory, his love affair with the world's tallest peaks was initially fueled by hopes of being well fed and properly clothed. He has continued to elevate his guiding to not only 18 summits of Everest (from a mix of the North and South sides), but impressive summits around the globe.
