Laval St. Germain is an airline pilot by profession, and an adventure artist by passion. In pursuing his passion he is a mountaineer, endurance athlete, and ocean rower, to name a few. Some of his most stunning achievements include summiting the highest peaks on all 7 continents, completing the fastest ever crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean by solo row boat from mainland North America to mainland Europe, and being the only Canadian, and one of only 200 people in history, to summit Everest without Oxygen. We discuss the mental and physical ingredients necessary to accomplish these feats, and Laval shares a heart-wrenching story about the biggest challenge life has thrown his way when tragedy struck his family.
