Bill Denz Award Presentation Night

Join us for an unmissable evening celebrating the 2024 Bill Denz Award recipients for the first ski descent of Malte Brun East Face (the line was named “Emotional Ejaculation”). 

Enjoy illustrated talks from professional skiers and mountaineers Will Rowntree and Sam Smoothy, who will provide an overview of the descent, along with the challenges and highlights they faced during the trip. They will also touch on other descents they have achieved to date as part of Sam’s 24 Project (to climb and ski all 24 of New Zealand’s 3000m peaks).

Come along to celebrate their vision, innovation, boldness and adventurous spirit in true Denz style!
