Taos is home to quite a mountain climber. 46 year old David Hahn has scaled Mount Everest for the 10th time. Mountaineering officials say that makes him the first non-Nepalese to achieve the feat. Hahn reached the 29,000-foot summit yesterday, along with fellow American climber Nicole Messner and two Sherpa guides. The record for the most climbs of the world’s highest mountain is held by Appa, a Sherpa guide. Appa earlier this month scaled the peak for the 18th time.

Here’s a bio page about Dave.
