View 2011-2012 Season Brochure
Known in some circles as simply “Mr. Everest,” Peter Athans summited Mount Everest for the first time in 1990 and hasn’t stopped climbing since. He has climbed the mountain seven times, participated in 16 expeditions there, and was awarded the highest medal of recognition from the American Alpine Club for a rescue featured in the bestselling book and feature film Into Thin Air.
An avid philosopher and poet, Athans evokes the magic of true exploration and leadership with personal anecdotes from his expeditions while asserting that everyone — whether mountaineer, CEO or homemaker — has his or her own Everest.
