Professional Rock Climber
Peter Kamitses is a 34 year old professional rock climber. He has dedicated himself to the climbing world for the past 17 years. In this time Peter has been most intrigued by the mental and physical process of unraveling the solutions to the hardest climbs he can find. In his home region of New England he has established numerous first ascents, both sport climbs and traditionally protected pitches, creating some of the most difficult free climbs in the country. Climbing has brought him to many far flung reaches of the world from throughout the US, to Australia, Patagonia and Europe. He works in the climbing gym industry as a route setter and lives in Burlington Vermont with his wife and two sons. His other sponsors include Mammut climbing gear and La Sportiva shoes.
While out climbing, his favorite Navitas product is the 3Berry, Cacao Nibs, and Cashew Trail Mix. He also uses the Maca Powder in smoothies (for energy) combined with a banana, raw honey, almond butter and rice milk. Visit him on Facebook

"I am a hugely vocal advocate for a living, health-promoting, high-enzyme, high-vitamin, simply-, traditionally-prepared-foods diet. My daily energy needs are enormous. Every food that I eat must provide something essential," says Rob. And on partnering with Navitas Naturals: "Navitas Naturals rocks! I've used the Maca Powder, Chia Powder and Twister Powder religiously for a while now. The use of Navitas Naturals' products are consistent with my goals.

Mountaineer
Scott Grischow is a 35 year old mountaineer from Houston, Texas currently in pursuit of the famed "Seven Summits". The Seven Summits, as they are collectively known, are the highest peaks on each of the seven continents. Ranging from 7,310 feet (2,228 meters) to 29,035 feet (8,850 meters) in altitude each peak possesses its own unique attributes, which makes completing the series a significant challenge for both professional and non-professional climbers.
Next stop for Scott: the 16,000 feet Vinson Massif in Antarctica in December of 2011.
Scott says, "While nutrition and healthy food are rare commodities on big mountain expeditions, I have found the Navitas product line to be an excellent way to ensure that I begin each expedition feeling great and and in the best possible physical shape for the challenge ahead of me."
