Gerry Roach
Gerry Roach is a world-class mountaineer, who after climbing Everest in 1983, went on to become the second person to climb the Seven Summits in 1985. He has climbed Gasherbrum II without supplemental oxygen. In 2000 Gerry became the first person to climb the 10 highest North American mountains, then became the first to climb every major peak over 16,000 feet in North America. Climbing throughout the world, he has received numerous accolades along the way.
Gerry Roach moved to Bolder, Colorado as a lad back in 1954 and started climbing rocks and mountains shortly thereafter. Six decades later, he continues to pursue his mountaineering passion with all the energy that he can muster. In the end, the life lessons learned transcend his climbs, which allows Gerry to include his audience on his climb for peace, which becomes an ever-growing Odyssean exploration.
