The North Face Speaker Series With Mark Synnott Event PICS

by TonyDasilva on May 2, 2012

We had a blast last week with Mark Synnott at Prime Climb for another rendition of The North Face Speaker Series!

Mark gave an inspiring and humorous account of his life and featured some tales from some of his favorite expeditions, as well as his heart felt losses along the way.

Special thanks to everyone who came, including, The North Face, Outside Magazine, Gore-tex, PrimaLoft and Ragged Mountain Foundation, for making it happen!

Take a look at some highlights from the pics below.
