Beta & Brews: Yosemite Big Walls 1970-2000

With the Stay at Home order, we want to offer ongoing virtual events to connect with our community. Join us for a virtual version of Beta & Brews - you can even ask questions! BYOB and enjoy it from the comfort of your own home while connecting with our community.

Steve Swenson will talk about some of his early big wall climbs in Yosemite on El Capitan in the late 1970’s, including ascents of the Salathe wall in 1976 and an early ascent of the Shield in 1978.  He will also talk about climbing Lost in America (A4+) with Alex Lowe, the Nose in a Day with Conrad Anker and Space (A4+), and more.
