Is there a method to the madness of skiing all of Colorado's fifty-four 14,000ft peaks? Is there a real way to mitigate the inherent dangers of climbing and skiing Mt. Everest? As one of the world's foremost and celebrated ski-mountaineers, Chris Davenport understands risk better than most. In this powerful talk, Chris goes into detail about his strategy in the hills, what makes him tick, and how climbing peaks relates to overcoming challenges. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
