An Evening with Climbing Phenom Phil Powers

The Baldpate Inn is proud to host American Alpine Club CEO Phil Powers next Friday, July 24, 2015, at 8 PM for a special guest lecture on the risks and rewards of climbing some of the world's most daunting peaks.

Powers has summited K2 and K4 (also known as Gasherbrum II) without the use of supplemental oxygen, worked in various non-profit organizations, authored two books, and been a National Outdoor Leadership School chief mountaineering instructor.

Despite being an expertly accomplished mountaineer on several continents, Powers suffered a considerable fall in 2011 that led him to reevaluate those lessons learned on K2 and K4 as well as to reconsider the balance between risk and return while on expedition.

Admission to this event is $10.00 with all proceeds benefiting the Longs Peak Reunion.

For advanced tickets please call Greg at 303-949-5964.

We look forward to seeing you there!
