Interview with Guy Cotter, CEO of Advent...

All About Everest Podcast
About this episode

Today's episode is an interview with Guy Cotter, CEO of adventure consultants who has been mountaineering and guiding for over 3 decades. We talk about him starting out as a mountaineer, becoming a guide, and then becoming the CEO of Adventure Consultants. We talk about how mountaineering has changed, the good and the ugly on Everest, and his book coming out in the fall: "Everest Mountain Guide: The Remarkable Story of a Kiwi Mountaineer". We also talk about Rob Hall. One of my favorite parts about this interview is Guy's tenacity and how he deals with the ups and downs, especially when it comes to the death of his mentors and COVID.
