https://templedavid.org/symons/p44c73hvrvs Cory Richards has had a big few weeks.  His film documentary “Cold” received high honors at the 2011 Banff Film Festival, including Grand Prize, Best Film – Climbing, and the Audio Post-Production Scholarship.

https://grannysglasses.com/?p=cfsym7p3  Cory marked his place in history this past winter when he became the first American to summit an 8,000-meter peak in winter.  He and his team, consisting of Simone Moro and Denis Urubko, made the first-ever winter summit of Pakistan’s  8035-meter Gasherbrum II.  The team survived extreme cold, blizzards, and a Class 4 avalanche during their three-day ascent of the world’s 13th tallest mountain.

see url That is very cool, congrats to Cory. It is always very cool when you get to chat with people like him, and you find out they are just like the rest of us.

click It is refreshing, Keig. Seems like generally the higher up the “totem pole” one goes, the people get better and better. Most of TNF athletes I’ve met have been very down to earth – they do a good job of vetting their people.
