  4. Join us at the Second Ascent Retail Store on Thursday, August 15th at 8pm for what will be Kyle's last show in town - A Season of the Vagabond -

     

    From loosing gear in a snow storm to burning boots in a fire, these are 10 classic stories from this season that make the backcountry so addictive.

     

    "Eddie Bauer First Ascent splitboarder Kyle Miller has been drifting with a purpose this winter around the burliest ranges of the West Coast, from Revelstoke and Rogers Pass to Utah’s Wasatch and the Canadian Coast Range. But he’s a Washington guy in heart and soul. So the first big spring weather window drew him home to tackle the Abandoned Splitboard Traverse on Glacier Peak—solo. This is Kyle’s report on numerous classic Evergreen State epics and the powerful pull of solitude and isolation in his favorite Washington zones." -Dan Kostrzewski

     

    Second Ascent will be providing beer for the event so bring your thirst...and your ID's!
