Join us for this special event featuring guest speaker, Andrew Lock, who will be delivering the Sir Edmund Hillary Memorial Address. In 2009 Andrew completed his sixteen year quest to climb fourteen of the world's 8000 metre peaks. He has led teams to some of the most extreme parts of the planet, surviving avalanches, frostbite and overcoming enormous physical and personal challenges. In 2009 Andrew was awarded Australian Geographic Society's Adventurer of the Year. In recognition of his efforts and his commitment to the people of the Himalaya, Andrew was appointed as the AHF's inaugural Ambassador in 2009.
