Description
A Life Ascending chronicles the life of acclaimed ski mountaineer and mountain guide Ruedi Beglinger. Living with his wife and two young daughters on a remote glacier in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia, Beglinger has built a reputation as one of the top mountaineering guides in the world.
The film follows his family's unique life in the mountains and their journey in the years following a massive avalanche that killed seven people. Documenting the sublime beauty and ever-present risk of a life lived on the edge, the film ultimately explores the power of nature as both an unforgiving host and profound teacher.
Guests will also get a tour of the American Mountaineering Center as well as a discussion asession with the producer at the conclusion of the film.
Tickets are $8 per person and must be purchased in advance. Proceeds benefit Mountain Area Land Trust.
