Conrad Anker's specialty is
climbing the most challenging terrain
he can find, journeys that have taken
him three times to Mt. Everest, the
northern realms of Alaska, and to the
furthest southern reaches of Patagonia
and Antartica, where in 1997, with Alex
Lowe and Jon Krakauer, he climbed
Rakekniven, a 2,500 foot wall in Queen
Maud Land. He is one of three friends
in the recent, award-winning film Meru
who battle the harshest elements in
attempting to climb the Shark's Fin, the
most dangerous and complicated peak
in the Himalayas. Captain of the North
Face Athlete Team, he also relishes the
icy walls of Montana. He resides in
Bozeman with his wife, artist Jenni, and
their sons, Max, Sam, and Isaac.
My epitaph? It will say...
"Be good, be kind, be happy."
One thing I have yet to
accomplish in my life...
is service to others.
The one question I get
asked most is... "What is
your next climb?"
Today? I think today
I'll... go for a hike with the
love of my life, Jenni, and our
dogs.
