An Evening with Barry Blanchard

Patagonia Ambassador and legendary Canadian alpinist Barry Blanchard is on tour for his new book The Echo: Stories from the Edge of Survival. The Echo takes readers to the thin places where weather, determination, skill, and luck decide everything—and the consequences can echo for years.

Hear a presentation from Barry on the making and remaking of a life in climbing: the punk rock years of pure alpinism, the strange theater of Hollywood rigging on Cliffhanger, the space left behind by lost partners, and the realities of aging.

Participate in a Q&A with Barry and get a signed copy of his new book. Copies of The Echo and his other book, The Calling, will be available for purchase at the event.

Enjoy free snacks and drinks, compliments of Patagonia.
