Anderson is the Author of Seven Summits Solo, To Everest via Antarctica and Antonovs over the Arctic: Flying to the North Pole in a Russian biplane. His most recent book is Nine Lives - Expeditions to Everest and in French, Neuf Vies - Expeditions A L'Everest
He led the ascent of a new route on Everests' Kangshung Face, with a 4- man team including Paul Teare, Ed Webster and Stephen Venables, ascending without Sherpas or oxygen, before going on to ascend the remaining of the 7 summits solo.
More recently, in the Himalaya, he has guided ascents of Everest (twice), Shishipangma, Cho Oyu, and Makalu.
Seven Summits Solo covers his solo ascents of all the 7 summits, in a large format coffee table book, also released in a private edition for Rolex. To Everest via Antarctica was published widely, including pirated into a Romanian edition with someone else on the cover - but the story is his.
Anderson has gone on to complete a number of new routes on Mt Vinson in Antarctica, spending the 2016/17/19/20 seasons guiding on both the rarely visited East and the traditional West sides of the peak.
In 2018, he ascended Cartstenz Pyramid, climbing with Peter Hillary, completing the 8th of the 7 summits.
Anderson is a frequent lecturer for multi-national corporations, with talks and training seminars on leadership, team-building, motivation and achieving larger than life goals with smaller than expected teams.
