Come along on a journey of adventure through a series of short stories from the far sides of the world. During this 45 minute presentation you will hear stories of Mitch’s mountaineering expeditions: life and death on Denali during his 20 day solo expedition, traversing North America’s 3rd highest point, an unplanned solo attempt on Mt. Rainier, and climbing in Africa’s High Atlas Range. Mitch will use 3D maps in ArcGIS Earth to show you the routes and camps along the way and also use his own personal media to tell his stories and put you there with us on the mountain. This is a can’t miss event for anyone who loves adventure, geography, or has ever wondered “what it takes to be a mountaineer”. Bring your notepad and hang-on because this session will be intense! “After a summit, I never view it as if I beat the mountain. I view it as a kinship between the mountain and myself. If you climb – you have that respect.”
