THE K2 TEAM 2010

Winton Flesser
Owner
After running family camping shops in the early 1980s, towards the close of the decade Winton opened the first installment of his K2 trajectory. Along with business partners with similar passions, Winton created K2 Base Camp, a specialist outdoor, rock-climbing and adventure gear store. Soon after, Winton took over the reins of K2 Base Camp in a solo capacity and has since taken the enterprise from strength to strength. K2 Base Camp and K2 Odyssey Travel are an expression not only of Winton’s deep love for nature and the outdoors, but also his need for adventure.
Though never unfulfilled in his past 28 years in business, Winton stays motivated (in his words, keeps his brain balanced) by returning to nature on a regular basis. Known by his friends and family to be somewhat of an adrenalin junkie, Winton loves exploration and spontaneity. Contrastingly, his feelings of relaxation centered ness come after quiet time spent in remote places.
He aims to share and magnify these passions by supporting the journeys of other outdoor devotees, through his K2 stores. |
