ABSTRACT
It seemed like a normal day to Robert Schaller. In 1965, he was a young doctor doing his rounds at the University of Washington Hospital when he heard his name on the intercom. When he got to the lobby, Robert was met by a man who looked like a spy, complete with dark glasses and a tan trench coat. The CIA knew that Robert had just returned from a trip to Alaska to climb Denali. They also knew he had been a college athlete. Now the CIA wanted to know if Robert was willing to serve his country as a spy on a very top secret mission that involved climbing the Himalayan Mountains. He was taught how to detonate explosives, how to jump out of a helicopters, and how to handle nuclear equipment. Robert was one of the small team of mountain climbing scientists who would scale the massive mountain and put the electronic eye in place.
