lmstone Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Hi. My name is Lisa I am an intern at Washington State magazine, we are writing a story about WA climbers who have summited any number of the 7 summits. In addition we would really love to find some Cougs who have done this as well, to tie it back to the university. If anyone knows where I might find this info please let me know. Thanks a bundle!

Gary_Yngve Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Dunno about WSU, but for UW: Tom Hornbein was a prof at UW (anethesiology?) for many years. Tom, with Willi Unsoeld, did one of the most significant climbs of all time. Steve Swenson, a UW alum, has his share of first ascents in the Himalaya, and has climbed K2 and Everest (the latter solo and without supp O2). I'm sure you can find plenty of folks who have summited Denali or Aconcagua or Kilimanjaro, or maybe even folks who have been guided up Everest -- but there's nothing pioneering about going up these standard routes by the standard formulas. The folks I mentioned above are true explorers. Quote
