The Mountaineers
Join us on Thursday, May 13 for a virtual presentation from outdoor athlete, creative, and climate activist Graham Zimmerman.
Graham will share stories from expeditions to remote corners of Alaska and Pakistan and the path that took him to some of the world's most remote places.
Graham specializes in complex logistics, having run over 30 expeditions and assignments to many parts of the world including Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Alaska, Argentina, Eritrea, and Kenya. Graham was a finalist for the 2014 Piolet d’Or, won the 2017 Cutting Edge Award from the American Alpine Club, and was awarded the 2020 Piolet d’Or.
He’ll show us how these journeys led him to climate change advocacy, including being the captain of the POW Climb program and making a congressional testimony on climate change policy.
Graham will provide suggestions for how outdoor-minded individuals and organizations can help protect the places we love for generations to come. After his presentation, a short Q&A will be hosted with Graham.
