Voted 10/10 | You know, I can't remember the guy's name. My buddy always refers to him by his first name, and none on your page rang a bell. I don't think I've ever even heard his last name more than once. He's an American, was (is?) sponsored by Patagonia, and was at the time a professional alpinist. He's retired now with a normal job.
My friend met him by chance through someone else. They don't climb together (my friend isn't a pro). They keep in contact through email every few months, sort of pen pals.
I'm 90% sure he summited. My friend is out of town until about two weeks from now, but I'll be sure to ask him more about it.
