 | Team The North Face (UNITED KINGDOM) // Number 38 |

 | Keith is a stunt model who does daring iceburg and waterfall jumps just for the sake of the camera. He recently moved 75 miles away from home to a training base, in order to better prepare himself for Eco-Challenge. Steve is a member of the Free Tibet Campaign. This is the first Eco-Challenge for Team The North Face, and they hope to rely on their sense of humor to get them through the race.
