“My connection to the outdoor world is through people.”

At 58, Conrad Anker has transformed from cutting-edge mountaineer into one of the most important thought leaders in the outdoor industry. Throughout a career that has seen him lead The North Face's climbing team for nearly three decades, discover the body of legendary explorer George Mallory on Mount Everest in 1999, and ascend the daunting Shark's Fin of the Himalaya's Meru with Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk in 2011, Anker has been a steady and compassionate force in the turbulent world of high-stakes alpinism.
