[2] Over the course of Tyson's mountaineering career, he would go on to climb some of the world's most notable peaks, including Everest, Cho Oyu, Nanda Devi, Denali, Aconcagua in Argentina; the Vinson Massif in Antarctica; and Mount Blanc in the Alps.
[10] In 2012, Tyson was part of an expedition team alongside Dave Anderson, his wife Molly Loomis, and Canadian Sarah Huenikennd to China's Genyen Massif.
[12] While climbing in the region, Tyson and Loomis made a first ascent on an unnamed 18,500-foot peak on the massif they named Phurpa.
[15][16] In 2015, Tyson died with several others from his company Creative Energies in a plane crash at Diamond D ranch in Idaho.
