Teejas' 39 summits of Vinson, in Antartica, remains the record for most ever.Second, Vern is a leader in solo winter ascents. This particular discipline might be the most stunning. When the conditions are the harshest, and help is not present, Vern climbs.Finally, Vern Tejasis the first person to solo summit Denali in the winter.

067: Vern Tejas - 7 Summits 10X

When I was a kid growing up in Alaska, Vern Tejas was one of my heroes.  Back in February of 1988, Tejas made the bold first solo winter ascent of Denali, and in doing so, captured the imagination of all Alaskans, including me. • The Denali climb changed Vern’s life.  He wrote books, gave lectures and eventually became one of the most sought after high altitude guides in the world.  But Alaska never remained far from Vern’s heart, and he returned each year to guide on The High One.  To this date, Tejas has summited the mountain a staggering 57 times.  A world record. • I recently had the privilege to sit down with Vern, and talk about his life in and out of the mountains.  From his first adventurous forays of hitchhiking around the country, to his 1st winter ascent of the Lowe-Kennedy route on Mount Hunter, Vern is a larger-than-life figure and a great storyteller. • Links: https://patreon.com/thefirnline https://thefirnline.com https://evanphillips.net https://www.amazon.com/Seventy-Summits-Mountains-Vern-Tejas/dp/1681570475
