This week we’ll have our second Mappy Hour<\/a>‘s with The North Face<\/a> in NYC and DC. Along with the fun we usually have, The North Face is bringing it up a notch with their athletes Renan Ozturk (NYC & DC Mappy Hours) and Ashima Shiraishi (NYC Mappy Hour).<\/p>\n

We put together a short photo\/video essay to help capture why these two athletes are so inspirational (and why we can’t wait to spend time with them later this week).<\/p>\n

Renan Ozturk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Renan Ozturk is a North Face athlete, National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and distinguished cinematographer.<\/p>\n

Not only has he pushed the boundaries of climbing but also slacklining.<\/p>\n
