About Conrad
Conrad Anker’s specialty, simply put, is climbing the most technically challenging terrain in the world. This quest has taken him from the mountains of Alaska and Antarctica to the big walls of Patagonia and Baffin Island and the massive peaks of the Himalaya.
Conrad's Antarctic experience spans a decade, with first ascents in three regions. In 1997, Conrad teamed up with Alex Lowe and Jon Krakauer to climb Rakekniven, a 2,500-foot wall in Queen Maud Land. In the Sentinel Range, Conrad climbed the Vinson Massif via three new routes.
His climbs in Pakistan's Karakoram include the west face of Latok II along the "Tsering Mosong" route, which begins at the same height as the summit of Denali, climbs 26 pitches on a vertical cliff and then tops out at 23,342 feet. In 1998, Conrad and Peter Croft made a first ascent of Spansar Peak via a 7,000-foot ridge in one day. In Patagonia, he climbed the three towers of the Cerro Torre Massif.
On Yosemite’s El Capitan he joined Steve Gerberding and Kevin Thaw to establish "Continental Drift," a steep nail-up on the right side. In Zion National Park, Mugs Stump and Conrad first climbed the intimidating “Streaked Wall.”
In May of 1999, as a member of the Mallory & Irvine Research Expedition, Conrad discovered the body of George Mallory, the preeminent Everest explorer of the 1920s. The disappearance of Mallory and Sandy Irvine on their summit bid in June 1924 is one of climbing's great mysteries. Conrad's discovery and analysis of the find has shed new light on the pioneering climbs of the early expeditions.
Conrad graduated from the University of Utah and lives in Bozeman, Montana, with his wife and three sons. He is a board member of the Conservation Alliance, the American Alpine Club and the Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation. Conrad stays in shape by climbing, running and skiing.

Conrad Anker
Tezistem prednasky byl "duch objevitelstvi" (spirit of exploration) od prvnich vyzyvatelu hor pres polarnika Shackletona po George Malloryho. Podle Conrada lezi hlavni vyzva "objevitelstvi" v dnesnim svete (pro ktery neni technickou vyzvou ani let na Mesic ci planety) v "mikrosvete" castic. Dnes jiz neni problem zdolat nejvyssi vrcholy ale nejtezsi steny. Jak ale zachranit krehkou prirodni rovnovahu v dnesnim svete a pritom zabezpecit potreby vsech lidi na Zemi? Zni to trochu pateticky ci lacine, ale C.A. zrejme vi co mluvi.
Ve spojeni s neobvykle kvalitnim a presnym tlumocenim zastupce Hudysportu to byl zajimavy zazitek. Me osobne podninil k vyhledani vice informaci o tomto autorovi, a jeho knize "The Lost Explorer".
