Presenter Larry Takiff will describe, with many photos, New England
winter hiking and climbing activities, and where the skills developed
in these activities can take you in other parts of the world. Photos
from Mt. Robson in British Columbia, the Ouray Ice Park in Colorado,
the Berner Oberland Alps in Switzerland, and Mts. Rainier and Shuksan
in Washington will illustrate the dramatic beauty of these places, and
he will describe both simple hiking and technical mountaineering
challenges of each. Photos of both winter hikes and technical climbing
in New England will illustrate how one can develop skills right here
that can be applied in many places around the world. Come for the
pretty pictures, stay for the dope on how to do it yourself!
