Cory Richards is an American mountaineer, photographer, filmmaker, and author who is known for his high-altitude climbing achievements and his honest approach to mental health. Cory Richards was born in May 1981 in Boulder, Colorado to Court Richards who was a well-known mountaineer.

In 2011, Richards became the first American to reach an 8,000-meter peak in winter by successfully climbing Gasherbrum II in Pakistan’s Karakoram range. The team encountered a severe avalanche during their descent which he documented in the award-winning film Cold.
