This July, Mountain Hardwear athletes Andrew McLean and Mike Libecki will embark on The Sharp End Tour, a series of eight multimedia presentations featuring unbelievable athletic accomplishments, awesome raffle prizes and amazing parties.

Andrew McLean has been pursuing extreme ski mountaineering for over 20 years and has accumulated over 200 first descents around the world.

Big wall climber Mike Libecki has established first ascents, traverses, and other offbeat adventures around the globe, mostly solo.

Relive the excitement and admire their pursuit of adventure as Andrew ventures down incredibly steep couloirs and Mike travels to reach virgin granite walls.

A portion of proceeds from The Sharp End Tour will go to benefit the The American Alpine Club and Mountain Hardwear’s recently established McNeill Nott Award. This annual grant is aimed at aspiring climbers, who like Sue Nott and Karen McNeill, focus their talents on the challenges of world class alpine pursuits. The American Alpine Club is dedicated to promoting climbing knowledge, conserving mountain environments, and serving the American climbing community.
