Manson Boze was 56 when he traveled to Argentina to attempt a guided ascent of Aconcagua – the second tallest of the “seven summits” – the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents. He was 13 years into an amateur climbing career that began at the not-so-young age of 43. Manson had a demanding 20 year career with a Fortune 50 corporation that started in Richmond, VA and took him to Charlotte, NC and New York City before returning to Richmond, followed by 10 years as an executive at a small non-profit.
