“Go the distance, climb to the limit, ski the steeps, leap off a cliff and fly. Seven top athletes from The North Face® share tales of adventure and extreme endurance in a live speaker series that takes you along for the ride. Meet them on their nationwide tour in fall 2010.

The North Face® athletes: ultrarunner Diane Van Deren; extreme skier and BASE jumper Karina Hollekim; ski mountaineer Kit DesLauriers; ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes; alpinists Conrad Anker and Jimmy Chin; and climber Mark Synnott.”

The North Face Speaker Series will feature these seven athletes (including AAC Director Conrad Anker) in many cities all around the country from now through December. Check out the schedule of events for one near you. Select events that AAC members plan to attend together will also be posted on the AAC event calendar. Ticket information is available here.
