Griffin Post, Big Mountain Skier, Athlete, and Writer 

Join big mountain skier and adventurer Griffin Post for a gripping story of exploration, history, and discovery. Post recounts his multi-expedition journey to uncover a long-lost gear cache left behind by legendary mountaineer, photographer and cartographer Bradford Washburn and his partner Robert Bates during their daring 1937 ascent of Mount Lucania. Blending adventure with science, his talk also sheds light on glacial movement and the impacts of climate change on one of the world’s largest non-polar ice fields.
