Jim Whittaker

Jim Whittaker (born in 1929 in Seattle) is the first American to summit Mount Everest in 1963; he is the twin brother of Lou Whittaker, a mountain guide (who is often mistakenly credited with that summit). In 1965 he guided Robert Kennedy up the newly-named Mount Kennedy. He led the International Peace Climb in 1990.
