[td]Hill was introduced to the mountains by his family early on in life. By the age of five, he had already climbed his first 10,000 foot mountain with his father in the Alps. In his late adolescence he competed in Olympic boxing in national and international tournaments, training at the Olympic Training Center in Germany. He was awarded Citizen of Honor in his hometown in the federal state of [[Hesse]]. Florian's passion for the outdoors led him to the Arctic where he trained sled dog teams for the longest and toughest distance race in the world e.g. for [[Yukon Quest]] winner and [[Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race|Iditarod]] veteran [[Sebastian Schnuelle]] in Canada and Alaska. As a professional mountaineer he extensively climbed in the ice-wastes of [[Alaska]], the [[South American Andes]], [[Himalaya]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], [[Burma]], [[Central Asia]] and the [[Yukon Territory]] in Northern Canada. His team's first ascent in the Andes was shortlisted for the [[Piolets d'Or]] in 2011, an award often described as the "Oscar of Alpinism." Florian Hill consistently strives to combine high performance and adventure.<ref>[http://www.spiegel.tv/filme/wendepunkte-florian-hill/ SPIEGEL TV documentary about Florian Hill's expedition]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.zeiss.com/sports-optics/en_us/nature/experience/partnerships/florian-hill.html |title=Florian Hill &#124; ZEISS United States |access-date=2016-07-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/2016082...ure/experience/partnerships/florian-hill.html |archive-date=2016-08-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref>[/td]
