On the first day of 2011, First Ascent Guides Ed Viesturs, Peter Whittaker, Seth Waterfall and Caroline George will travel to the continent of Antarctica to guide a group of clients up Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Antarctica. We caught up with Ed Viesturs, America's premier mountaineer, as he was packing and preparing for his next adventure.
