We had the privilege of meeting Greg Hill, Canadian ski mountaineer, extreme athlete & environmentalist, at the Arc'teryx Sydney Galeries store. His insightful talk about his life & achievements was perfect timing, inspiration for this coming winter. And we scored a copy of his new book!
Also enjoyed the discussion between Greg & @lexparso on their approach to working & being safe in the mountains. Thanks guys, a great evening!
