In May of 1963 Seattle Mountaineer Jim Whittaker stepped into world history by becoming the first Americna to summit Mount Everest.

Fifty years later, he is still regarded as a seminal figure in North America mountaineering, as well as an acute businessman who helped create the outdoor recreation industry, a loyal friend to dirt-bag climbers and celebrities alike, and the ultimate American hero.  His is a profoundly human story of success, failure, redemption, and inspiration.
