To Everest Via Antarctica

The author tells how he set out with the intention of becoming the first person to climb the highest peak in each of the world's seven continents, unaccompanied. Late in 1995 he hoped to complete the feat by reaching the summit of Everest without oxygen (only two people had ever achieved this), but after several attempts he was foiled by atrocious weather. This is not just an account of the climbs, but an often humorous travel book, ranging from the plains of Africa to the snows of Antarctica.

Anderson is the Author of 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.
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. To Everest via Antarctica was published widely, including pirated into a Romanian 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 2016/17 season guiding on both the rarely visited East and the traditional West sides of the peak. 
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 Singapore and works throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
