The North Face Never Stop Exploring Series
Mark Synnott, Rock Climber
Life on the Vertical
Mark Synnott has a mission: seek out and climb the world’s most remote cliffs. For Mark, the journey is as important as the climb, and his quest has taken him to the Arctic, Asia’s Karakoram Mountains, and Amazonian jungles. Exploring seldom-seen places is his specialty: most recently he discovered the Ennedi desert of Chad in North Africa, where he and his team of top-notch climbers made first ascents of surreal and other-worldly rock spires and arches. Mark is a skilled raconteur who tempers his tales of high adrenalin with droll humor. Featuring breathtaking images, this evening with Mark is a celebration of adventure.
VIP Reception tickets, which include preferred seating, a meet & greet with Mark, beer, wine and light food will be held at The North Face Breckenridge, 322 South Main Street, 970-453-1613.
