Himalayan climber Conrad Anker welcomed a packed audience to the world premiere of his new movie "The Wildest Dream." Spanning 90 minutes this Banff Mountain Film prize favorite tells the story behind Anker's discovery of lost Everest explorer George Mallory and the reenactment of the climb in 1924 that some speculate was the first successful summit of the world's highest peak.
Just had a terrific interview with filmmaker Dominic Gill at the Banff Mountain Film Festival. His movie called "Take a Seat" follows his journey from Alaska to the tip of South America on a tandem bicycle, a journey of 20,000 Miles.
Leading alpinist Reinhold Messner once called Steve House “the best high altitude climber in the world today.” That’s no small praise coming from the first man to solo the summit of Everest without oxygen.
In his late 30s House has had a distinguished career ascending the most challenging routes on many of the highest mountains in the world. Just after the release of his new memoir Beyond the Mountain House shared his thoughts on his earliest days in the sport.
