The North Face Adventure Grant Presented by AG Outdoor

THE NORTH FACE ADVENTURE GRANT PRESENTED BY AG OUTDOOR

Helping Australian and New Zealand Explorers Achieve Their Dream Expeditions

The North Face®, the world’s premier supplier of authentic, technically innovative outdoor apparel, equipment and footwear is accepting applications for The North Face Adventure Grant 2016, presented by AG Outdoor. The North Face Adventure Grant has taken Australian and New Zealand explorers around the world, allowing them to attempt their boldest expeditions.

From a peak-bagging saga through New Zealand, to exploratory canyoning on La Reunion, summit attempts in Nepal to Afghanistan, recipients of The North Face Adventure Grant have used the support to pursue their far-reaching goals in the great outdoors, to go in search of the unknown.

The 2015 recipient, Jordan Searle will join fellow white water kayaker Ari Walker to attempt a first descent in New Zealand. Details are under wraps until the departure for the expedition next month.

"My drive is internal, I like to see what hasn’t been seen before. To experience something pristine and natural. To paddle a river never done before forces you to decide everything for the first time, setting a precedent for those who will go there after you.” – Jordan Searle, The North Face Adventure Grant recipient 2015

Planning and executing an expedition is a monumental task. The North Face and AG Outdoor want to support the community of Australia and New Zealand in exploration.

The winning recipient receives:

• $5000 grant from The North Face

• $3000 AG Outdoor Grant

• $2000 worth of The North Face gear

We are looking at applicants from a wide range of areas including rock climbing, trekking, alpine climbing, extreme endurance pursuits, skiing, snowboarding, B.A.S.E. jumping, kayaking and paragliding, just to name a few.

We’re not only looking for elite athletes, the grant is designed to assist adventurers of all levels to step up and make their adventure aspirations a reality.
