Description
Cory RichardsAlpinist and Photographer
Gasherbrum II: The Hardest Way – 8000 Meters in Winter
Sponsored by Vital Outdoors
Successfully climbing a Himalayan peak is a long shot even on a good day. So when Cory Richards set out last winter to summit Pakistan’s 8035-meter Gasherbrum II, the odds were against him.
Cold and blizzards amplified his suffering, yet summit he did, making the first-ever winter ascent, and he survived an avalanche while descending. Cory is a rising star of alpinism and a skilled photographer and videographer who has shot for National Geographic. His talk takes you to the perilous edge of adventure, where the risks are high but the rewards can be life-changing.
