>Ed set his goal to conquer Mt Everest in 2004 over four years ago,
>combining a love for the mountains, foreign cultures, and the desire to
>focus on one of the greatest challenges on earth. Being inspired by the
>late Ray Brown (first West Australian to summit Mt Everest), Ed has
>undergone rigorous training to tackle the challenge of not only Everest
>but also some of the world’s highest mountains in New Zealand, Argentina
>and Nepal. His motivation to complete such feats all while raising
>substantial funds for charity is truly inspirational. The story of this
>local corporate executive and his ultimate ‘risk management’ exercise is
>one to be heard by all West Australians.

>there on Guy began to concentrate on technical climbing in Australasia &
>beyond including ascents of the Nose and Salathé walls on El Capitan and a
>lightweight expedition to Uli Biaho Spire in the Trango Towers group in
>Pakistan. As an International Mountain Guide he has led expeditions on Mt
>Everest, Gasherbrum II, Gasherbrum I, Ama Dablam and Cho Oyu, Aconcagua,
