“Your passion for climbing fast and pushing one’s self to his or her limits is a wonderfully motivating story to hear. The whole audience was engaged and listened closely as you took them on the fastest climb up the one of the toughest rock climbing routes in the world. We look forward to your next adventure and having you speak again when you are in Washington, DC.”
– David Giacomin
Chairman, The American Alpine Club, DC Section
“As someone who experienced the psych and the wisdom of Hans, I can say without a doubt that passing up an opportunity to have “Hollywood Hans’ come and speak would be a mistake. It was great to learn from a climbing legend, but it was even better to be able to simply connect with such a wise fellow climber; one who shared many of the same basic goals and inspirations as many of us. After such a great experience, we look forward to having Hans back to the East Coast with us again sometime soon!”
– Stefanie A. Hutchinson
President – UD Rock Climbing Club, University of Delaware
“Hans is one of the most remarkable climbers of our age. He has brought the science of teamwork, endurance, and efficiency on the rock to a new unparalleled level. His exploits force us all to believe that anything is possible with the right focus and vision.”
– Erik Weihenmayer
First blind climber to ascend the Seven Summits
