Armand's Climbing and Adventures

In Fall of 2007 I attempted to climb Tibet’s Cho Oyu (26,906ft – 8,201m). Although it is not one of the seven summits, Cho Oyu is the world’s sixth highest peak. The weather was poor and we were forced to turn around at Camp 2 at approximately 23,000 feet. Spending six weeks in rural Tibet was an amazing experience.

Traveled to Zurmat, Switzerland in 2006 and was fortunately to have good weather and summited the Matterhorn (14,692ft – 4,478m), a classic Alps climb.

After getting my MBA from Kellogg, I spent a month studying Spanish in Costa Rica and another month mountain climbing in Bolivia. We climbed several peaks including Huayna Potosi (19,974ft – 6,088m) and Illimani (21,122 ft – 6,438m). I began my Wall Street career immediately after and did not climb again until my 2002 Kilimanjaro trip.
