He then graduated on to high altitude climbing in Alaska and the Himalayas. He was co-leader with Scott Fischer for the 1987 American Everest North Face Expedition. Wes eventually moved to East Africa where he worked for several years as the Director of the NOLS in Kenya. During this time he and Scott Fischer made the second successful climb of the Breach Icicle on Kilimanjaro. Along with Scott, he pioneered the Shira Plateau route up Kilimanjaro, the route led by Mountain Madness, and has also developed new walking safaris.
