Called "the ultimate climbing machine" by Men's Journal, preeminent alpinist Ed Viesturs has successfully summitted Mount Everest seven times. In May 2005, he completed an even more ambitious, 16-year quest to climb the 14 highest mountains in the world without supplemental oxygen. He named this goal Endeavor 8000, since each of these Himalayan peaks exceeds 8,000 meters. Join this legendary mountaineer as he shares his awe-inspiring experiences.
