RAINIER MOUNTAINEERING, INC. and
ED VIESTURS EXCLUSIVE
On January 18,
2006, world-renowned high-altitude climber,
Ed Viesturs, signed on to guide exclusively with us. Last May, Ed became the first American to summit all 14 of
the world’s 8,000 meter peaks. Pretty amazing! Our agreement
sets the stage for the direction Ed and RMI are planning to take
over the next decade, especially as we begin operations in the
Himalaya in 2007.
