Most recently, in the spring of 2019, Mark summited Mount Everest via the Northeast Ridge. The latter, a 6,000-foot wall topping out over 20,000 feet, is one of the longest rock climbs in the world.

In BaffinРІР‚в„ўs Auyuittuq National Park, Mark completed the first ski descent of the South Face of Mt.
