Pete Athans
Defined by his peers as "one of the greatest Himalayan guides around", Peter has summited Mt. Everest a record six times and has participated in 12 Everest expeditions during the past 14 years! He has an outstanding international reputation as a leader and guide.

Peter's climbing expertise may even be overshadowed by his ability to guide and successfully assist others in reaching summits. Having lived in Nepal for a number of years he is an excellent resource on Nepalese culture. He is also an accomplished photographer and has completed a number of film projects, most recently with PBS' Nova. Peter has been climbing for almost twenty years and is certainly one of the world's finest guides.

Most recently the American Alpine Club awarded Peter (and his partner Todd Burleson) the highly valued David J. Sowles Award for unparalleled bravery and selflessness in a rescue situation, based upon their rescue efforts on Mt. Everest in 1996. He has led Alpine Ascents' climbs to Everest, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Carstensz Pyramid and Mt. Vinson.
