Jim Whittaker, the first American to summit Mt. Everest who then helped build one of the world’s most popular outdoor brands, has died at 97. In 1990, Whittaker organized a trip to Everest with American, Soviet and Chinese teams in an effort at peace just before the end of the Cold War. Sunday TODAY’s Willie Geist remembers a life well lived.
