The legend is back. Join MEC and Edelrid as we chat with Tommy Caldwell about climbing access, advocacy, the race to 9a and a recent adventure to Alaska with Alex Honnold.
Expect another sold-out show with stories, drinks from local sponsors, community groups and epic prizes – all hosted by MEC Ambassadors Sean McColl and Emma Contaoe.
You'll hear stories of Tommy's recent climbing and biking adventures. Including a 2,300 mile journey with Alex Honnold that involved climbing (of course) and biking from Colorado to British Columbia, a sailing trip to Alaska and finally a one day traverse of the Devil's Thumb skyline.
