Alaska: from the sea to the summit

Outdoors adventures by kayak and in the mountains : Alaska: from the sea to the summit (Frédéric Dion's conference)

Frédéric and Étienne are two childhood friends. Soaking their kayak in the waters of British Columbia, they travel into the interior passage of Alaska to later climb the world's highest coastal mountain, Mount Fairweather (4663 m).

After a 1200-km endeavour, they finally see the giant. However, the wild ocean forces them to continue the road on foot in grizzly bear territory. In altitude, the climatic changes force them to adjust their project and vision of risk.

Themes:

Friendship, doubt, teamwork, risk, wild nature, climatic changes

Available versions:

School, general public, corporate

Song: "Jolie randonnée" Lyrics and music by Marc Ouellette
