Backcountry.com Athlete Greg Hill took an afternoon off from climbing miles of vert to sit down with a morning show in Canada. I have to say, it feels a bit odd to watch a morning news program where the hosts ask intelligent questions and don’t descend into insane, drunken banter. Check in with Greg Hill on his site - he’s in the stretch on his 2 million feet goal.

Look for an interview with Backcountry.com Athlete Greg Hill in the upcoming Powder magazine. I read it and learned that he has a sweet mustache. Check in on his page - a bit over 300,000 vert left (we all get champagne when he finishes even though we didn’t have to do anything).
Greg Hill would put IHOP out of business if they offered all-you-can-eat mountainside pancakes. In his latest video he details how much food he has to consume on his way to 2 million vert. He’s just like Michael Phelps except that he actually seems like a decent guy.
Greg Hill has hit 1.5 million on his way to 2 million vert for the year. The above video offers a look at some of the gear he’s using in his attempt. I can’t help but think he gets a free piece of gear every time he mentions a brand name. I hope so; that’s a lot of vert for one person.
The Greg Hill 2 Mil presented by Backcountry.com is hosting a competition. Greg will be stomping up and down the mountains from the 15th to the 21st of this month, and if your guess is closest to the vert he actually logs, you’ll win a Backcountry.com gift certificate ($50). Submit guesses to gh2m@backcountry.com. The fine print is here. Good luck.
