CONQUERING MOUNT EVEREST
|
|
|
In May 2008 Ian Taylor became the youngest Irishman to stand on the top of the world. In June 2007 Ian and climbing partner Graham Kinch set out to climb four mountains on four continents in one year with Mount Everest being the final climb. Before June 2007 they had only climbed one mountain over 5,000m. Ian also took on a charity element, raising €70,000 to build the Mt. Everest primary school in Uganda.
From + 30c to - 50c Ian braved his own demons and the mountains. He saved a fellow climbers life and four months after being told he wouldn't be the right material for Everest by two professionals, he successfully made it to the summit of Everest.
Ian has just come back from leading 14 novices to the summit of Mont Blanc and is leading another 14 to Kilimanjaro in Jan 2010. This is a true story of teamwork, drive and untimately success. Includes slide-show and film clips.
