Trailblazer hosts an evening with The North Face athlete, rock climber Mark Synnott at Prime Climb, in Wallingford, CT, on April, 26.

The North Face Never Stop Exploring Speaker Series – Mark Synnott presents Life on the Vertical

Mark Synnott has a mission: seek out and climb the world’s most remote cliffs. For Mark, the journey is as important as the climb, and his quest has taken him to the Arctic, Asia’s Karakoram Mountains, and Amazonian jungles.

Exploring seldom-seen places is his specialty: most recently he discovered the Ennedi desert of Chad in North Africa, where he and his team of top-notch climbers made first ascents of surreal and other-worldly rock spires and arches. Mark is a skilled raconteur who tempers his tales of high adrenalin with droll humor. Featuring breathtaking images, this evening with Mark is a celebration of adventure
