Breaking Records & Conquering Peaks with Laval St. Germain

Mark Kondrat & Dr. Greg Long Season 5 Episode 5

Meet Laval - a Calgary dad, husband, airline captain, and record-breaking global adventurer.

Laval is best known for being the only Canadian to have summited Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, holds the record for the fastest-ever crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a solo rowboat from mainland Canada to mainland Europe, is the only person to have climbed and skied Iraq’s highest mountain, has climbed the highest mountain on each of the Earth’s 7 continents, and has summited the highest mountains in over 30 countries. 

Join us for an inspiring conversation about Laval's passion for the wild, empty places on maps, and for the challenges and rewards that come with time well spent in the natural world.
