The Mammut Anniversary Basecamp kick off event was a fantastic experience from the beginning to end. I attended the event with over 100 journalists, mountain guides, and Mammut staff in the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland this past week to celebrate Mammut's 150th year in operation. From start to finnish the event was non stop. Groups climbed the Jungfrau and the Monch peaks, we attended workshops, and were treated to excellent Swiss cuisine each day. From the photos you can see that Mammut went all out to make this event one that will be remembered for years to come.

Thanks to Mammut for this amazing experience - it was an honor to be one of three mountain guides to represent the US.
