Motivational Talks

Everest Peace Climb
The Everest Peace Climb was the most successful expedition ever to visit the mountain. A record number of twenty climbers from 3 countries reached the summit, climbing the North Ridge from Tibet. The climbers from America, China and the Soviet Union demonstrated that through peaceful cooperation the highest goals on earth could be reached. The Everest peace Climb also cleaned-up the mountain environment and produced a documentary film Three Flags over Everest, narrated by Robert Redford.

Ian Wade was the climbing leader for the Everest Peace Climb and has developed motivational slide presentations from this and his other mountaineering experiences.

Value of Adventure at Different Stages of Life
Adventure assists in accomplishing the tasks characteristic of different life stages. Topics such as development of individual capacity, companionship, teamwork, appreciation for diversity and service are part of the mountain adventure. This slide presentation is illustrated with extracts from Ian's climbs of Half Dome in Yosemite, the Eiger in Switzerland and Mt. Everest.

Ian has several different presentations available. Please contact ASI for more information.
