The Columbus Dispatch covered Robert Alt’s Mt. Everest Summit. “This isn’t where Alt’s journey ends, however. On Profound Climbing, Alt shared his plan to climb the Seven Summits of the World, or the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents.”

“Our friend and leader Robert Alt is on the mend after his attempt to summit Mount Elbrus in Southern Russia took a turn for the worse.”

“While attempting an ascent of Mount Elbrus in southern Russia, …[Alt was] stricken with high-altitude pulmonary edema, a potentially fatal illness. It took an international effort to secure his health and journey home,” writes The Columbus Dispatch.
