{{Use dmy dates|date=March 2019}}{{Use New Zealand English|date=March 2019}}Gary Ian Ball was a New Zealand mountain climber who died in 1993.[1] He summited Mount Everest twice, in 1990 and 1992[1][2]

Climbs

Ball was a New Zealand Antarctic Division field guide and instructor in survival training at Scott Base in 1976–77 and a field guide in northern Victoria Land for the GANOVEX expedition in 1979–80.[4] He also climbed Aoraki (Mt Cook) 26 times, at that time a record.[5]

In 1989 Gary Ball tried unsuccessfully to climb Mount Everest.[3] In 1990 Gary Ball summited Mount Everest with Peter Hillary and Rob Hall.[4] They made a call from the summit to a New Zealand television station for an on-air talk during prime time.[5] On return to New Zealand they appeared in parades and gained corporate sponsorships for additional climbs.[5] With Hall, Ball climbed the Seven Summits in seven months in 1990.[6] Together, Ball and Hall founded Adventure Consultants in 1991, and were among those that "pioneered guided tours of Mount Everest".[11] "Hall and Ball" as they were often called had climbed 16 mountains together and were celebrities in New Zealand for their climbing exploits.[7]

In 1990, Ball was awarded the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal.[8]

Death

Ball died in October 1993 after coming down with high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) while climbing Himalayan mountain Dhaulagiri with Hall.[4][9] Hall buried Ball's body in a crevasse on the mountain, but it was rediscovered ten years later.[10] In 2004 his family members planned a trip to re-bury the body.[10]

Legacy

Ball Glacier is a {{convert|7|nmi|km}} long glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica named by the New Zealand Geographic Board after Ball.[1] Ball climbed Mount Lister with an Italian field party in 1976–77, and camped on this glacier; he was field assistant with R.H. Findlay’s New Zealand Antarctic Research Program party to this area, 1980–81.[11]

Ball Peak is a mountain named by the New Zealand Geographic Board after Ball.[4] This was related to his time as a New Zealand Antarctic Division field guide and instructor in survival training at Scott Base in 1976–77 and as a field guide in northern Victoria Land for the GANOVEX expedition in 1979–80.[12] Ball peak is a mountain {{convert|1700|m}} tall at the head of Loftus Glacier in the Asgard Range, Victoria Land, Antarctica. It stands in proximity to Mount Hall and Harris Peak, with which this naming is associated.[12]
