(CNN) — About 4,000 people have summited Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak. He led an all-Black climbing team to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and is a longtime instructor at the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) in Wyoming. The experience was transformative — he was leading not only a literal adventure but a new generation of Black outdoor experts. Should all of Full Circle’s members complete their climb, the number of Black people to have reached the top of Mount Everest will double immediately. Full Circle Everest now has a group of corporate sponsors including North Face, Summit Coffee, Smartwool and Mountain Safety Research (MSR).
