Peter Whittaker personal email
As a second generation member of the "First Family of American Mountaineering", I have spent a lifetime in the mountains. My uncle, Jim Whittaker, was the first American to climb Mt. Everest in 1963, and together with my father, Lou Whittaker, led the first successful American expeditions to K2 and Kangchenjunga. My passion for alpinism and career as a mountain professional began at the age of 16 as a guide on Mt. Rainier. Since then, I have stood atop the Seven Summits, led over 4,000 clients on hundreds of expeditions worldwide, and designed award-winning gear and apparel for leading enterprises such as Marmot, Mountain Hardwear, JanSport, Timberland, Salomon, Buck Knives, and Eddie Bauer/First Ascent.My mountain experience and passion for authentic and purposeful performance outdoor gear now takes the Whittaker name to a new chapter in designing, testing, and branding with the launch of Bight Gear, a line of technical outdoor apparel designed and developed to meet the demands of mountain guides and climbers at work and play.Specialties: mountaineering, climbing, skiing, guiding, brand development, product design, product testing, business development, creative media, marketing, public speaking, travel, management.
