"Luke Smithwick may be the most prolific American climber ever in the Himalaya. Guiding in the mountains since the age of 18, Smithwick has Everest (North, Northeast Ridge), Shishapangma (Northwest buttress, ski descent) and over 50 unclimbed Himalayan 6,000-metre peaks to his name.
As a skier, climber and mountain guide, Smithwick focuses on unclimbed peaks and unskied lines. At age 38, this is his 59th Himalayan expedition. He arrived at this incredible number by stacking expeditions back to back for the past eight years."
