I didn't know Mr Webster, I came across this article somewhere online a week or so ago. Mr Webster was born in Massachusetts, attended Colorado College, lived in Colorado Springs.
Webster, along with Steven Venables, Paul Teare, and Robert Anderson , put up Kangshng Face on the east side of Mt Everest. A link here

RIP

Sorry to hear od Ed's passing. Sometime in the early 1990's, Ed was working at the Westminster Recreation Center as their climbing wall supervisor and I met him and talked to him regularly. A really nice and humble person. RIP

in the late 1980ies, about a year after i joined the CMC, i had the pleasure of seeing mr. Webster give a slide show at an REI by Denver.
it had a lot of his rock climbing efforts and was wonderful. Rip mr. Webster.

Ebenton,
Thanks for sharing.

I was privileged to attend a talk that Ed did for the CMC High Altitude Mountaineering School (HAMS) about his solo day on Changtse while on one of his 3 Everest trips. Then he was on a winter trip on Square Top. Nice, humble person who shared his knowledge with others.

Was he related to Daniel Webster?

I saw a talk he gave about 20 years ago. His book on the Everest years is excellent. The Colorado Springs paper had a front-page story about him last week, with interviews of friends from his days at Colorado College. https://gazette.com/life/ed-webster-pio ... e1a73.html

I'm sorry to hear of Eds' death. He and I connected during our 1985 Everest West Ridge Expedition; I was the medical officer and he of course contributed mightily to the technical climbing from base camp to the Lho La.
RIP Ed...
