Will Cockrell has spent more than twenty years as a senior editor, writer, and consultant for national magazines including Men’s Journal, Outside, Men’s Fitness, and GQ. A former outdoor guide, Cockrell has covered Everest throughout his career. His debut book, Everest, Inc., is a vivid and authoritative adventure history chronicling one of the least likely industries on Earth. Featuring original interviews with mountain guides and climbers, Everest, Inc. tells the story of the entrepreneurs who paired raw courage and naked ambition with a new style of expedition planning. Many of them are still living and climbing today, and ninety percent of the people now on Everest are clients or employees of guided expeditions.
For this Craig Buthod Author Series event, Cockrell will be in conversation with adventurer, author, educator and Louisville legend Dr. Tori Murden McClure.
