FOR THE BEST IN MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE, ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURE

Speakers

Tarka L'Herpiniere

 
Born in 1981, Tarka grew up in the French Alps - giving him his fascination with mountains - and having his education split between France and England has allowed him to grow up bilingual. This exceptional playground allowed him to discover the joys of climbing and as his skills and knowledge grew he was able to begin exploring a new world broadening his spectrum of sports to include: rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, ski touring, paragliding, skydiving and BASE jumping. In 2005 he became the second person in history to attempt to trek to both the North and South Poles solo and consecutively. Sadly the expedition ran into financial difficulties before the Poles could be reached and for a while failure seemed to become his driving force! Following this theme, in 2006 he went to Everest - as part of the EverestMax expedition - and suffered high-altitude cerebral edema. Plenty of experience to draw from!
