VIMFF WOMEN ROCK
Want to know exactly why women rock? Aside from countless obvious ways, pull up a chair to watch these rock climbing presentations and films that will give you all the answers.
Why do certain people thrive on risk, while others remain content
surfing channels on their flat screen TV? 'All That Glitters', Margo Talbot's presentation explores the hidden drives that compel us to push into the unknown in the quest for personal transformation and social evolution.
Starting in 1981 with Hamish Gets the Milk, and spanning three
decades of books and magazines, Tami Knight still uses pens to draw the foibles of the climbing community.
Join sisters, Stacey and Vikki Weldon, as they recollect growing up in the world of climbing. Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, the sisters share their stories of sibling squabbles, competition highs and lows, and their discovery that climbing really doesn’t need to be taken too seriously.
