Winter 2025 is underway!

Come and join the local POW crew at Bright Brewery to kick off our exciting series of events.

Become part of POW’s Local Alliance where you can meet a bunch of like-minded winter and outdoor enthusiasts.

We are very excited to have special guest Jeanette McGill attending as a speaker.

The impacts of climate change on mountain spaces is real. Be it at 8000m or here in our backyard. I’m looking forward to sharing my mountain journey with POW as they broaden their reach within the community

About Jeanette McGill:
A Bright local, and dual citizen, Jeannette McGill is a seasoned mountaineer and executive leader who, at 52, became the oldest South African woman to summit Everest in May 2025. With more than 30 years of global climbing experience—including leading expeditions across four continents—she knows deeply that the summit is never just about standing on top. Jeannette’s journey is a testament to patience, resilience, and the quiet power of backing yourself, no matter how many setbacks you face. Beyond her personal achievements, she is passionate about demystifying the modern-day myths of Everest and advocates instead for the very real challenges mountain terrains face through climate change globally. Having been there herself, she brings an informed, honest perspective on what is truly happening above 8,000m. Today, Jeannette combines her love for high-altitude adventure with leadership on Boards and helping others explore their own limits. She also supports future generations through leading snow camps in the Victorian Alps and mountaineering scholarships, believing that mountains are powerful teachers of courage and humility. Her story is not just about conquering peaks but about becoming the kind of person who dares to try.
