alpenbock film

Thursday, November 19th | Doors at 6 PM | Movie at 6:30 PM | Our Lady of the Snows | $15 | Sign-up Required

Presented by the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance, "Alpenbock" is a story that brings the history of Little Cottonwood Canyon to life through the voices of those who lived it, University of Utah first ascensionists in the 1960s, and the respective group they formed– The Alpenbock Club. This is a story of passion, grit, culture, and climbing ethics.

As climbing continues to grow in numbers and evolve, the routes and the passion for where we climb remain the same. We have a challenge and responsibility to preserve and protect these iconic climbing landscapes, rich with historical value. Because we can save a place a thousand times, but lose it only once. It’s more than just climbing; it’s our legacy.

This event will help raise awareness for the unique climbing history that Salt Lake has, as well as raise funds for the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance, to continue advocacy and stewardship efforts that make outdoor climbing possible.

The film is about 30 minutes long and will be followed by a 15 minute Q/A.

ACE aims to create an inclusive and accessible environment for all of our attendees; please contact our Executive Director, Sara Gibbs, with any questions regarding accessibility.
