'Inspires a sense of adventure': Sask. man conquers Mount Everest

A Saskatchewan man made it to the summit of Mount Everest earlier this month.

Landry Warnez reached a new peak earlier this month, proudly holding the Saskatchewan flag after climbing to the top of Mount Everest.

"The climb itself is an iconic one. It has features you won't find on other mountains," he said.

Warnez made it to the summit of Mount Everest on May 12 at 5:30 a.m.

He said it’s a trek he had been conditioning for since he started getting into climbing.

"My parents had us going back and forth to the mountains, the Rockies, so growing up, I was in the mountains quite frequently," he said.

During a prior trip to Nepal, Warnez said that’s when he made the decision to climb the mountain.
