"In 1983, Breashears transmitted the first live pictures from the summit of Mount Everest, and in 1985, he became the first American to reach its summit more than once. As of September 2015, Breashears has made eight expeditions to Everest, reaching the summit five times. He has also climbed to the summit of 24,494 ft (7,466 m) Ama Dablam in the Himalayas, and is known in climbing circles for having free climbed some of the most technically challenging rock walls in Colorado, as a young man. His ground-up, on-sight, totally-unprotected, Perilous Journey, 5.11b/c on Eldorado Mountain in 1975, was probably the boldest, short first ascent of the 1970s. " (from Wikipedia).
