PAT MORROW

Pat Morrow is one of Canada's most accomplished mountain climbers. He is based in the Canadian Rockies in Canmore, Alberta. Pat is well known for their documentation of mountain cultures and adventures through his photography, video and film work. He works in concert with his wife of 23 years, Baiba. Their deep desire to search out and document remote, wild places has led them on assignments and expeditions to all seven continents, averaging six months a year in the field for the past 25 years.

Together Pat and Baiba have won eight national magazine awards. Their books include Beyond Everest: Quest for the Seven Summits; Himalayan Passage; The Yukon; and Footsteps in the Clouds – Kangchenjunga a Century Later. In 1987, Pat received the Order of Canada in recognition of his achievement of climbing the highest mountains on all seven continents.

Over the last twelve years Pat has expanded his tools of the trade to include video and film, and now works exclusively in that medium. He has worked on more than 50 mountain films for such broadcasters as National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Outdoor Life Network, ESPN, and the Canadian International Development Agency.
