If he’s not dodging rocks on some alpine face in Canada or scratching his way up a frozen WI6 waterfall, John can be found paddling the Columbia River from source to mouth. John admits adventuring flows in his blood. In his first half-century, John fought his way to the summit of four 8,000-meter peaks, including K2 and Everest, plus a plethora of devilishly hard unclimbed Himalayan and Karakorum faces and ridges. A graduate of Washington State University in geology, John has written three first person adventure books; a paddler’s guidebook to the entire 1,200 miles of the Columbia River; and edited, organized, and published his deceased father’s biography. His photography has been on the covers of National Geographic, books, posters, and other notable national magazines. John received the International Piolets d’Or Walter Bonatti Lifetime Achievement award in 2014 and is an honorary member of the Alpine Club of Great Britain, the Mountaineers, the Mazamas, and the American Alpine Club. John and his wife, Joyce, have been married 50 years and have three great kids.weniger sehen
