This month’s slide show will be a couple of
climbing videos, each about 20mins long. The first
features Alex Honnold’s free-solo of the 2,000ft
North-West Face of Half-Dome (5.12), together with
his solo climb of Moonlight Buttress in Zion, done
as a ‘warm-up’ to Half Dome. The second is called
‘Cold’, and chronicles four climbers on the first
winter ascent of Gasherbrum 2 in the Karakoram.
Quote: “Experience Gasherbrum II in the middle of
a deep, dark winter, as seen from the raw, honest
perspective of alpinist and photographer Cory
Richards. The film deftly captures the
interweaving of pain, doubt, and fear — and
reveals a harrowing descent that amplifies the
isolation and exposure.” This film won the Grand
Prize at the 2011 Banff Film Festival. Check it
out!

Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons.
