Join us for a beer and share an evening with some great alpine adventure stories!
Feature Presenters:
Raphael is a leading alpine climber and recently completed the first ascent of the West Face (V 5.10+) of Mt. Alberta, Canadian Rockies, with Eamonn Walsh.
Jon Walsh - Patagonia Ice Jon began rock climbing in Squamish in 1993 and relocated to Golden B.C. in 1999, to be closer to the incredible alpine opportunities of the Rockies, Selkirks and Bugaboos. What Jon love most about climbing is the tight community felt amongst its participants and the places it gets you to. Over the past seven years, alpinism has brought him to Pakistan, Alaska, the Alps, Patagonia, and all over Western Canada where he has opened routes, and suffered some crushing failures. His first ascents include The Brazeau/Walsh on the North face of Mount Alberta M6 5.11 1000m; the Via Canadience on Cerro Fitz Roy 1100m 5.10 M5 A1; and Pain is a Privilege on Choktoi Spire, Pakistan 5.10 A2.
