Morrow climbed
Mount Everest, the highest peak of the world, with the
"Canadian Mount Everest Expedition 1982". Between 1977 and 1986, he climbed the
Seven Summits in the more difficult
Carstensz-Version ("Messner list"). He wrote a book about this process,
Beyond Everest: Quest for the Seven Summits, in which he argued the veracity of the
Carstensz-Version over the
Bass List. Born in
Invermere, British Columbia, Morrow was the first person to summit all the seven peaks on the
Messner List of Seven Summits while
Richard Bass was the first to complete the
Bass List. Morrow was the first person to climb all the eight peaks on both lists (
Bass and
Messner). Morrow has other high-altitude mountaineering achievements, and in 1987, he was made a Member of the
Order of Canada. Professionally, Morrow was a still photographer until about 2001 when he transitioned to video. == Climbs of the Seven Summits ==
