ROBERT. MADS ANDERSON
Anderson is the Author of four books: Nine Lives - Expeditions to Everest, Seven Summits Solo, To Everest via Antarctica and Antonovs over the Arctic - Flying to the North Pole in a Russian biplane.
He led the ascent of a new route on the Kangshung Face, Everest, climbing with a 4-man team including Paul Teare, Ed Webster and Stephen Venables, climbing without Sherpas or oxygen, before going on to ascend the remaining of the 7 summits solo.
More recently, in the Himalaya, he has guided ascents of Everest (twice), Shishipangma, Cho Oyu, and Makalu.
Nine Lives recounts moments of near death or life defining moments on each of his expeditions to Everest, with a cast of climbing characters from Chris Bonington and Stephen Venables, to Sibusisu Vilane and David Hamilton.
Seven Summits Solo covers his solo ascents of all the seven summits, in a large format coffee table book, also released in a private edition for Rolex Watch. To Everest via Antarctica was published widely, including pirated into a Slovakian edition with someone else on the cover - but the story is his.
Anderson has gone on to complete a number of new routes on Mt Vinson in Antarctica, spending the 2016-2020 seasons guiding on both the rarely visited East and the traditional West sides of the peak.
In 2018, he ascended Cartstenz Pyramid, climbing with Peter Hillary, completing the 8th of the 7 summits.
Anderson is a frequent lecturer for multi-national corporations, with talks and training seminars on leadership, team-building, motivation and achieving larger than life goals with smaller than expected teams. He lives in Dubai with his wife Josephine Clark.
