This spring, Eddie Taylor will be one of the climbers making history on the first all-Black team to attempt to summit Mount Everest. Their trek is called The Full Circle Everest Expedition. By day, Eddie is a high school Chemistry teacher and track coach in Colorado, but before work and on the weekends, he’s out scaling rock faces or ice climbing frozen waterfalls. Now, he is embarking on a new type of adventure — Eddie, eight other Black climbers, and two support staff will start their two month trip to Everest. In this episode, he talks about their preparations and what it takes to climb the tallest mountain in the world.
