Free Press photo Skreslet: Team effort. to reach suinmit By Mike Johnston A teani effort and 'takcing one step at a time" were the. key ingredients to climbing Mount Everest, according Wo Laurie Skreslet, the first Canadian to reach the mountain's summit. Skreslet spoke at the Peter Perry award dinner on Tuesday night last week. It was a team effort. I was lucky Wo be in the right place at the right time," recalled Skreslet, who reached the summit - 29,000 feet above sea level - on Oct. 5, 1982. He spent 33 minutes on Ever- est's summit, culminating a three-month odyssey that involved many successes and disappointments, including the deaths of six of the 65-member team. Everest, located in Nepal, was first discovered in the 1800s. The first attempted climb was in 1920.. But the first successful climb was not until 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary reached the summit'Between 1920 and 1953, 57 people died attempting the climb. Skreslet described mountain- eering as a way of bending and breaking the bars that surround one's life. "Most people in this world draw a parameter around them- selves. As they get dloser to their limitations, they get nervous and the fear of failing draws them back. 'Why do so many of us accept standards so low? People don't try as hard as they could. That is what I get from mountaineering. Until I realized my limitations, I couldn't remove them," said Skreslet, 39, who learned te cimb on boulders in the prairies of Western Canada. He said ice is Everest's de- fence. It took 27 tons of equip ment, 160 sponsors and $3 million te reach the sumniit. Olimbers suffered nausea, headaches and loss of appetite from the altitude which also aged their bodies 20 times more rapidlly. Climbers also had te drink eight litres of liquid a day to re- place the liquid they were losing on the climb. At one point, team members gave up eating, according to Skreslet, because of indegestion and because they could not taste their food. The effeets became so sever that the climbers were forced We SEE PAGE 5 q9tW4 o A * Û~EF?
