The SLCA and Headlamp Studios are excited to present the Alpenbock Film.
A story that brings the history of Little Cottonwood Canyon to life through the voices of those who lived it, University of Utah first ascensionists in the 1960s and the respective group they formed– The Alpenbock Club. This is a story of passion, grit, culture, and climbing ethics.
As climbing continues to grow in numbers and evolve, the routes and the passion for where we climb remain the same. We have a challenge and responsibility to preserve and protect these iconic climbing landscapes, rich with historical value. Because we can save a place a thousand times, but lose it only once.
It’s more than just climbing, it’s our legacy.
Next ALPENBOCK showing:
