Fred Beckey-Iconic Northwest Alpinist
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO HIGH DEMAND FOR TICKETS, THE VENUE FOR THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, CHECK LOCATION.
The Mountaineers, Tacoma Branch will host its monthly Open House and Speaker. Co-sponsored by University of Puget Sound (UPS) and
Edgeworks Climbing Indoor Rock Gym,
featuring the climber, Fred Beckey.
In the words of Colin Haley, noted contemporary Northwest climber "Fred Beckey is the most accomplished climber of all time. The volume of climbing he has done, near and at the cutting edge, is leagues beyond anyone else. At an early age in the Cascades, Fred got on an express train of bold, difficult, adventurous and beautiful first ascents across North America, and the train hasn't stopped for 70 years."Fred will give a multimedia retrospective of his
decades of climbing in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Additional speakers will add perspective to Fredʼs impact on the climbing community.
Beckeyʼs accomplishments donʼt stop with his alpinist credentials, he is also an author of
the classic three-part Cascade Alpine Guide published by The Mountaineers Books.
Copies of all three volumes of the Cascade Alpine Guide will be available for sale, along
with the additional Mountaineers Books publication Challenge of the North Cascades.
Of course, Fred will be available to autograph copies of these volumes.
The term living legend is overused, but is certainly appropriate to Fred Beckey. Donʼt
miss this opportunity to see, hear and meet our own Northwest legend. Admission for the event is $5.00 per ticket
