The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
Posted by Jeff Mayor @ 09:59:00 am

Noted mountain climber Ed Viesturs is scheduled to appear on tonight’s “The Colbert Report.” The show airs at 11:30 p.m. on the Comedy Channel and is repeated at 2 a.m.

Viesturs recently reached the summit of Mount Everest for the seventh time. The Bainbridge Island resident also has climbed all 14 of the world's highest mountains, without the use of supplemental oxygen. In doing so, he was the first American and the fifth person in the world to accomplish this.
