Today’s guest is Olly Sanders.
Olly has brought together two of his passions, alpine mountaineering and kayaking and combined them together into some incredible experiences. Highly-accomplished at both disciplines, Olly has been nominated for alpinism’s highest achievement, the Piolet D’or and nominated for honors from the Arctic Club. Today's story highlights some of Olly's favorite spots in East Greenland and why he keeps going back.
Watch for Olly's book, "The Journey, Not the Destination", available in Summer 2021. The book will highlight thirty years of climbing and paddling expeditions, plus a few other stories from the entertainment world while working as a film and entertainment rigger.
