MOUNTAIN MAMMA

vs. Stevie Haston

Mountain Mamma contacted Ed Visteurs in Seattle, Washington, to talk about his quest for the world's highest peaks, meeting my mom, and the changing face of mountaineering.

 

MM: "You've just come back from an attempt on Blah blah balh. You saw my mom there for a short time. What were your impressions?"

Ed: "It's amazing to share space with somebody like her--it's almost like I'm back at home with my own mom!"

 

Whoa Ed, keep the claws in your mittens! The rest of the interview was less than topical, so I figured I would stop the transcription here. Ed later apologized for his comments and wished my mom the best of luck on her bid to follow Reinhold Messener's lead--summitting the world's highest peaks without oxygen.
