Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Nawang Gombu (Cover photograph) and Dianne Roberts (illustrator). 271, [1] pages. Frontispiece. Illustrations (some in color(. Index. Signed by the author on the title page. Forewords by Edward M. Kennedy and John Glenn. Introduction by Tom Hornbein. One of the twentieth century's great adventurers recounts his life and experiences, from being the first American to reach the summit of Mount Everest to sailing around the world with his family. James W. Whittaker (born February 10, 1929), also known as Jim Whittaker, is an American climber and mountain guide. Born and raised in Seattle, Washington. On May 1, 1963, he became the first American to reach the summit of Mount Everest as a member of the American Mount Everest Expedition led by Norman Dyhrenfurth, alongside the Sherpa Nawang Gombu. They ran out of oxygen, but reached the summit. On July 25, 1955, Whittaker became the first full-time employee of Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) and was the company's CEO in the 1960s. Derived from a Kirkus review: Whittaker, the first American to summit Everest, tells here the story of his life thus farhe has managed to reach 70which has been lived with the kind of intensity that only his adrenal glands can truly appreciate. Whittaker never actively courted peril; indeed, as he tells it, though luck has been his friend, it's also "something you make happenby extending yourself into situations of risk but also by preparing yourself to succeed under those risky conditions." He didn't just climb Everest in 1963, but had been unknowingly preparing for it as a mountain guide and rescue team member in the Pacific Northwest. He had been in enough precarious situations to know the difference between objective dangers (avalanches, rock falls) and subjective gamble, when risky business becomes flagrant exposure. Though Whittaker gained wide recognition for his climb of Everest and his expedition to K2, the mountaineering community will also remember him as the force behind REI, the climbing-supplies cooperative that did so much to give climbing its antiestablishment, bohemian tone. His personal life has had just the same rugged topography as his preferred landscapes, and he reveals it to his readers in a lean, patient voice. There was divorce and separation from his children, financial ruin, the loss of friends to climbing accidents. And there was remarriage and connecting with his children, both young and old, and so much time outdoors doing what he loved, embracing not just the high peaks but all of nature transient. Whittaker has a knack for finding silent, sublime places. Now he's off sailing around the world with his family, trusting again to that angel who has watched over his shoulder.
