Conrad Anker

Conrad Anker (born November 27, 1962) is an American rock climber, mountaineer, and author.

In 1999, he located George Mallory's body on Everest as a member of a search team looking for the remains of the British climber.

Anker had a heart attack in 2016 during an attempted ascent of Lunag Ri with David Lama.

He was flown via helicopter to Kathmandu where he underwent emergent coronary angioplasty with a stent placed in his proximal left anterior descending artery.

Afterwards he retired from high altitude mountaineering, but otherwise he continues his work.

He lives in Bozeman, Montana.

Anker has also climbed notable routes in Yosemite Valley (California), Zion National Park (Utah), Baffin Island (Canada), and the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica.

He was the team leader of The North Face climbing team for 26 years until 2018.
