We’ve got a special treat for those of you following @FirstAscent on Twitter: We’re hosting a live tweetchat with Ed Viesturs on Friday, October 16, from 1 to 2 p.m. PST. Got a question for Ed? This is your chance to chat with one of climbing’s greatest.
What’s a tweetchat? It’s basically a real-time discussion on Twitter that uses a hashtag to keep the conversation glued together. We’re using #climbchat for ours.
So if you want to participate, it’s pretty easy:
@FirstAscent will be moderating the tweetchat, so if you want to submit a question to Ed in advance, put it in the comments or directly reply to us on Twitter.

Thanks and i love the First Ascent Line!!!

Question for Ed
With mountaineering consuming so much time and energy have you been able to become involved in any other sports and if so what are they?
Question for Ed
After returning back to Everest, what is your next adventure?
I here through the grape vine that you may be interested in the the idea of going to the deepest depths of the ocean and then to the top of Everest (the highest peak on top of the earth), with Eddie Bauer’s “Be First, Get Sponsored” program. Can you comment more?
