 EverestHistory.com: Greg Wilson | ||||||
| ||||||
| Greg Wilson is an experienced mountaineer and guide who's career spans more than 20 years and includes ascents of some of the world's tallest mountain. According to his parents Greg was a climber from early on. If it was scaleable young Greg would find a way to the top. It's a streak of daring that would serve him well over the years. A good portion of Greg's climbing has been done in South America. Guiding to Mexican volcanoes in 1977 and an expedition to Cordillera Blanca (Peru) in 1978 sparked his interest in climbing and guiding in South America. Greg went on to participate in over 75 expeditions to many South American peaks (among others) including Argentina (including 18 expeditions to 6,962-meter Aconcagua), Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru. He has also climbed various peaks in Alaska, Antarctica, Mexico, Nepal, Russia and Tibet. Greg was a guide for Rainier Mountaineering, Inc, for 10 years, during which he summited Mt. Rainier over 100 times. He began guiding internationally in 1983 with International Mountain Guides. In 1989 Greg made on of his highest ascents when he scaled Kangchenjunga, the third tallest mountain in the world at 8,586-meters. He has been on four expeditions to Everest and reached the summit in 1991. Greg would reach the summit a second time in 2001 as part of the IMG Everest South Side expedition.
