No registration necessary. No fee. Members and non-members welcome. Join us for an evening of photos, inspiration and education. Local climber Jason Wheeler presents his journey up Denali’s Cassin Ridge, nearly 50 hours and 2 vertical miles of technical climbing. He will also give an in-depth look into the techniques and tools needed to climb Alpine Routes on big mountains. Alpine-style climbing techniques, local test-piece mountains, personal preparedness, and a discussion on proper equipment choices will all be included in this presentation. If you have an interest in pushing your climbing into the world of “light and fast”, this is the perfect opportunity to learn from someone who has been there, and developed the skills necessary for success in Pacific NW Mountains. Share ideas and learn how to incorporate big-mountain techniques into your next climbing objective. Born in Portland Oregon, Jason has climbed and guided extensively in Alaska, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Western US and Canada, and currently guides world-wide for KAF Adventures, a Kirkland, WA based company.
