  • Matthew Moniz

    Alpinist

    Matthew Moniz is one of Colorado’s most accomplished young alpinists, having climbed four of the seven summits and completed all US High Points by the age of 12. Matt was recently named National Geographic Adventurer of the Year for 2010. A Boulder native, Matt has been active in the outdoors since his early youth and is a competitive freestyle skier, mountain biker and rock climber. However, it was a climb to Everest Base Camp at 17,200 feet and a summit of Kala Patar at 18,501 feet in April 2007 at the age of 9 that ignited Matt’s enthusiasm for high-altitude alpine climbing.
