#3 - Training for Everest on Mount Washington, My Mentor the Legendary Bradford Washburn

Show by Thom Dharma Pollard

Brad was the world's greatest aerial photographer, as well as the founder of the Boston Museum of Science, pioneer of 13 first ascents in Alaska and was the first to climb the now popular West Buttress route on Denali in 1951.
