 Big Walls and Pigtails: Yosemite Climbing with Holly Beck
Free Show!
Thursday, September 8
7 p.m. @ The Mountaineers, Seattle
To reach the great heights, majestic views and isolation found on big walls, sometimes you have to suffer. Holly Beck, a seasoned Yosemite climber, is no stranger to the perils and challenges that come with the territory.
On El Capitans Tangerine Trip route, Beck lost her sleeping ledge. She kept climbing, finding small one- and two-foot ledges to sleep on - standing up.
Using still images and video footage of Tangerine Trip and other routes, including a nine-day ascent of El Capitans Lost in America, Holly Beck gives us a unique look into daily life thousands of feet in the air.
Come to this free presentation for the upsides (good climbing, awe-inspiring views) and downsides (sleeping on narrow ledges, bad weather) of big wall climbing.
