Conrad Anker

Conrad Anker is the kind of figure I genuinely admire because his fame rests on real, dangerous accomplishment rather than image. Leading The North Face climbing team for 26 years is a staggering run of consistency in a sport that punishes mistakes severely. But what fascinates me most is 1999, when he found George Mallory's body high on Everest, finally giving form to a mystery that had hung over mountaineering since 1924. That moment connects modern climbing to its origins in a way few people ever could. As a writer too, he gives the rest of us a window into a world most will never see firsthand.

Conrad Anker (born November 27, 1962) is an American rock climber, mountaineer, and author. He was the team leader of The North Face climbing team for 26 years until 2018. In 1999, he located George Mallory's body on Everest as a member of a search team looking for the remains of the British climber who was last seen in 1924.
