Adaptable Mans' mission is to promote the joys of climbing; secure access and preserve the mountain environment.

Our team for the Metanoia film project includes the following talented and inspired/inspiring people:

Jeff Lowe, producer/writer/subject/director of aerial photography
The inspiration for this film, which is based on his life, his writings and his films. Jeff is one of the most influential climbers ever. He has received the highest awards from both the American Alpine Club and the British Alpine Club for his contributions to climbing. In 2008 Jeff was inducted into the Utah Sports Hall of Fame. In 2009 he recieved the Man of the Year Award from the MS Society. Jeff is currently a Paradox Sports Athlete at www.Paradoxsports.com

Jeff Lowe's award-winning books, films and equipment designs have motivated and enabled several generations of alpinists to "do more with less", which is one of the cornerstones of the Adaptable Man philosophy toward climbing and life. Throughout his life, Jeff has endeavored to become a "perfectly adaptable human", extracting meaning and sustenance for the heart and soul from lifes' experiences - both good and bad, easy or challenging. Jeff has been dealing with the devasting effects of an unkown neuro-degenerative disease for the last decade in a way that makes it apparent to everyone who knows or meets him, that Jeff Lowe has come close to achieving his goal.
