Chambers College alumnus Frank Fumich no longer lives in West Virginia, but he’s still called to the mountains – specifically, Mount Everest.
Fumich plans to summit Mount Everest as part of the Explorer’s Grand Slam, an adventuring challenge that’s already taken him to the other six highest peaks in the world as well as the North and South Poles. He anticipates completing the Explorer’s Grand Slam in 2026, which will make him only the 18th person in history to do so.
Fumich may be close to the finish line, but he’s not slowing down.
