Abstract
This lecture, delivered at Montana Tech, documents the 2012 expedition to Mt. Everest in Nepal by Conard Anker and Dave Lageson from Bozeman, Montana. The trip commemorated the 50th anniversary of the first American assent in 1963. The climbers gathered rock samples on and near the summit and created a new educational outreach model to elementary school children.
