Will Stanhope: Youthful Exuberance - Freeclimbing from Squamish to Patagonia

VIMFF Finale, Friday, January 29, 7:30 pm (doors 6:30 pm)
Centennial Theatre, 2300 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver, tel (604) 984-4484
Tickets $ 17 in advance, $ 19 at the door
Also on the same evening: VIMFF Film Awards; Sonnie Trotter’s “Letting Go of Control” multimedia presentation; and other film screenings.


Will´s multimedia show will focus on some highlights from last year that include two 5.12s plus first free ascents in the Bugaboos, the first repeat of the East Face of the Monkey Face on gear, a free ascent of El Cap and the Cobra Crack. A light hearted look at the alpine through the eyes of a 23 year old climber with big ambitions.

Will Stanhope - Since starting climbing at the Edge Climbing Center in North Vancouver at age 8, Will has moved on to bigger and bigger objectives while still trying to maintain the freeclimbing ethics. As a kid, inspired by glossy magazines featuring the likes of Sonnie Trotter, Will stole his dad´s climbing rack and has yet to return it. Starting with an eye-opening trip to Patagonia a few years ago, Will has since gotten excited for the mountains.
