...organization…[The expedition] is a great opportunity to see what the network [at Harvard] can do when it pulls all the resources into a great cause.” The two men—along with HBS student Boyd E. Bishop and documentary filmmaker and experienced climber Brad Clement—hope to reach the seven tallest summits in each continent within 198 days to break the current world record of 214 days. “[Murphy and Bishop] are physical studs in every sense of the word,” Serafini said. “Clement would...
