IOWA’S FIRST TO CONQUER MT. EVEREST
SIFE Presents:
CHARLIE WITTMACK WILL BE SPEAKING TO AIB College of Business JANUARY 22nd DURING BREAK HOUR IN THE ACTIVITES CENTER/GYM.
A QUEST TO BE THE BEST
The final ascent on Everest came after battling two months of the worst weather in the recorded history of the mountain, two failed summit attempts, a severe case of snow blindness, a day without supplemental oxygen, and three days of climbing without food or water.
In addition to standing atop peaks in the Andes, Alps, Alaska and Himalaya, Charlie has trekked across East Africa with the Masaii, sailed the Indian Ocean in a handmade boat, and bicycled the United States.
