Hans Florine is one of the most respected personalities in the rock climbing community. With over 24 speed-climbing titles, three ESPN X-Games gold medals, multiple speed ascent records on Yosemite’s big walls, and having climbed all of California’s “Fourteeners” (15 in all) in under ten days, it is obvious why. On rock, Hans has repeatedly set and broken one of the most coveted speed records in the world: The Nose of El Capitan. Not to mention that Hans climbed 20 classic routes in North America in only 20 days, totaling over 60,000 feet and 241 pitches. During this adventure, Hans traveled an amazing 69 hours, (about 3,300 miles) across 5 states. Plus, Hans managed to trek another 137 miles on foot!

Aside from his career as a world-renowned climber and adventurer, Hans is experienced with many important issues facing businesses today. He holds a Degree in Economics and was the Executive Director of the American Sport Climbers’ Federation from 1993-97. He has also authored a book entitled “Climb On! Skills for More Efficient Climbing”, and has produced an audio program called “Speed Is Power”.
