REMARKS BY ED VIESTURS

 

Ed Viesturs:  “Thank you. It’s a true honor to here. You know, I’m so glad I moved over thirty years ago from the great mountaineering state of Illinois. But you know, what drew me here was I read the book ‘Annapurna’ which was described earlier and I was inspired by that story and it was basically about team work, adventure, camaraderie, you know trial and tribulation and I think based on my personality I thought that’s something I wanted to do and I figured I had to go somewhere like this great state to learn about mountaineering because so many great mountaineers had started here, had come from here and I knew that. Three of my mentors and heroes are coincidently here today. They were honoring Wolf Bauer earlier, Dee. Molenaar is in the audience as well who was on one of the first American K2 expeditions in 1953 and Lou Whittaker as well in the audience who was my boss on Mt. Rainier for many years and took me on first successful eight thousand meter expedition in Kangchenjumga in 1989 and you know, when I came out to climb I knew I would have to have teachers and mentors and learn the basics, climb the small mountains before I went to the bigger mountains and thank you and I had such great teachers and mentors and leaders. You know, in the mountains we say that we follow in the footsteps of others and that’s true. Literally and figuratively, you know I, people that went ahead of us that broke the trail that broke those mental and physiological barriers of climbing very high, that’s what I was able to use to climb these mountains as well. When we’re working as a team in the mountains we do literally do break the trail for each other. So, there is a tremendous amount of team work involved, you know, hopefully the people that you go with are your friends because if you don’t like them at sea level you’re not going to like them at twenty-six thousand feet. There’s that implicit trust as well and for me when I went to climb these mountains it was all about the journey and the process and it was a struggle and I spent eighteen years of my life you know climbing the fourteen eight thousand meter peaks but when I sat on the summit of the Annapurna at the end of that it was for me that literal dream come true moment. I am so glad I did it, I’m so glad that I live here in this state of Washington and I can raise my family here as well. Thank you very much.”
