When: March 10, 2010 at 7:30 pm
What: Movie premiere and the nationwide kickoff for the Continuum Tour
Info: http://www.alstrinfilms.com/

As spring rolls in just around the corner we have a special edition of “Movie Night” that should be guaranteed to get you stoked on the season. Join us March 10th, 2010 at 7:30 pm at Brewvies to check out the premiere of Chris Alstrin’s latest film, “The Continuum Project.”

“The Continuum Project” follows some of the world’s best climbing talent around the globe to document bold new routes and daring repeats on ice, rock, and in the alpine. Shot entirely in High Definition, watch as Guy Lacelle, Audrey Gariepy and Mathieu Audibert establish terrifying new ice routes in Norway and Rob Pizem and Mike Anderson crush brawny off-widths and delicate face climbing in Zion. Get on route with Ines Papert and Cory Richards as they blitz Kwangde Shar in Nepal and witness Majka Burhardt and Sarah Watson free the Beckey Route on Elephant’s Perch in the Sawtooths. Discover the rewards and risks of exploration with Jon Walsh and Ian Welsted as they establish a beautiful new mixed line in the remote Icefall Brook range of British Columbia and cool down on the difficult sport routes of Lions Head in Ontario with Sam Elias, Emily Harrington, Leslie Timms and Lauren Lee.

SLCA Adopt-a-Crag, Ferguson Canyon

Every year the SLCA organizes an Adopt-a-Crag clean-up. Past events (like the one we did last year in LCC) have really improved our local cliffs. This year, we’ll be working on Ferguson Canyon, one of the gems of Salt Lake – quick approach, great granite and shaded, classic routes. We’ll be removing spray paint, repairing trails and building belay platforms to reduce erosion and improve the overall experience of climbers and hikers in the canyon. A light breakfast, lunch served by Sage’s Cafe and a raffle are also planned.

Register HERE. As an added bonus, the first 50 people to sign up will get day passes from The Front, Momentum AND Rockreation! If you have questions, or want to view more information, please visit our forum.
