"In 1988, American mountaineer Ed Webster achieved and survived the Impossible. With three partners, he ascended a new, never-before-attempted route up Mt. Everest’s most dangerous isolated side in Tibet—and without the usual assistance of oxygen bottles, radios, and Sherpa climbers to carry the necessary food and equipment. Back in America, friends wondered how many of Ed’s expedition would be killed. “Give me a call … if you get home,” said David Breashears, director of the IMAX Everest film.
That Ed and his companions succeeded in completing this outstanding climb, and that Ed’s partner Stephen Venables became the first British mountaineer to climb Everest without bottled oxygen is a testimony to human endurance and remarkable teamwork. Ed reached the mountain’s South Summit—at 28,700 feet, just 300 feet shy of the main summit. Then, somehow, Ed led his partners down a storm-bound, avalanche-plagued, four-day descent off the mountain, without any food, badly frostbitten, and very near death. Sir Chris Bonington called Ed Webster’s four-month Mt. Everest expedition “amongst the finest examples of survival in Himalayan mountaineering." More Photos from Ed Webster
