Climbing Through Barriers – and Films
Kai Lightner © Jodie Morse
Climbing mentors Kai Lightner (professional climber), Mikhail Martin (Brothers of Climbing), Erynne Gilpin (Indigenous Womxn Climb), and Bethany Lebewitz (Brown Girls Climb) are working to bring diversity to climbing and they are bridging gaps so that we can celebrate an outdoor community where everyone is included.
These four remarkable outdoor activists join us on stage in Banff for a panel discussion hosted by James Edward Mills.
Presentation followed by Festival films.
The Summit of Excellence Award will also be presented.
