Argentinean tops Everest and tells about it.
Please allow me to vent some national pride in sharing with you the news that reach me from Washington DC as my co-national Tommy Heinrich lectures at the National Geographic Society about his conquering Mount Everest:
A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tommy
Heinrich began climbing at an early age in northern Patagonia and
the high mountains of the Andes. This background put him securely on
a path to becoming the first Argentine to summit Everest, a feat he
accomplished in 1995. Discovering a passion for photography that
rivaled his passion for climbing, he has become one of the world's
leading mountain and climbing photographers, in which capacity he
has photographed expeditions to Everest, Dhaulagiri, and Argentina's
Aconcagua. His first story for National Geographic, coverage of a
Polish attempt to summit Nanga Parbat in winter, was published in
the January 2008 issue. In his first National Geographic Live!
appearance, he'll offer thrilling images and stories of this and
other expeditions to the highest places on Earth.
Too bad the conference is in Washington DC....
