John Baldwin is one of the greatest North American mountaineers, making first ascents and exploring BC’s mountains for over 45 years. His contributions to our community are widely known and recognized, including authoring 6 books!
For our evening John will entice us with the pictures & stories behind his latest book on 46 dramatic high routes and skyline traverses – like being on the summit for the entire trip! Fortunately we’ll be able to follow in John’s footsteps literally, courtesy of his latest book: Coast Mountains High Routes. A colour coffee table book, there’ll be some copies available for only $50.00 in person if you like.
Esquimalt Gorge Pavillion!
We’ll be seeing John on September 18th at our bright new monthly venue: Esquimalt Gorge Pavillion. Google Maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SPN6vd1fuGYzToxE6
