Guest Speaker 7 Summits & Beyond!!By Brian Block - December 13, 2014 
Porter strikes, rock-fall, avalanches, 5 ladder crevasse crossings, wild animals, extreme weather and rescues that involve carrying a climber above 21,000ft! What do these things have in common? It is all part of an epic series of fun and adventure that Midwestern Rep Brian Block got to encounter while taking on the 7 highest peaks on the 7 continents and then some!
Join a born and raised Midwesterner-(that’s right born and raised in Iowa)-as he takes you to the highest point on each of the Seven Continents! 
This journey to some of the farthest reaches of the world is an amalgam of photo and video taken during Brian’s 16 years of climbing between the start and culmination of this 7 Summits Quest!. With spectacular pictures from some seldom seen places coupled with death defying vantage points of epic avalanches and true stories of heroism in the mountains this presentation is sure to please!
