To Climb the "Unclimbable"
It’s been 41 years since Barry Bishop and three others were the first to make it to the summit of a mountain that Sir Edmund Hillary had previously called “unclimbable” and “fantastically difficult.” This month, Wally Berg and Barry Bishop’s son, Brent, are co-guiding an expedition for Berg Adventures International that will follow the same route up the southwest ridge. Please join us for continuous expedition coverage.
