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").[2] 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.[3]
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).[1][4][5]
Morrow has other high altitude mountaineering achievements, and in 1987, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada .[6] Professionally Morrow was a still photographer until about 2001 when he transitioned to video.
