Expert ice climber part of Winter Film Series
The second installment of Tahoe City’s Alpenglow Sports’ 11th annual Winter Film Series is Dec. 1.
At 7pm (doors open at 6:15pm) prominent Canadian ice climber and paragliding pilot Will Gadd will continue the series at Squaw Valley’s Olympic Village Lodge. Gadd, one of the top outdoor adventure athletes in the world, will show “30 Trips of a Lifetime in 60 High-Speed Minutes: Winning the X Games, Ice Climbing Niagara Falls, and Paragliding Over the Grand Canyon.”
Gadd, known as “Captain Adventure,” is a living legend. He continually pushes the boundaries of ice climbing and, even after having won every major title from the World Cup to the Winter X Games, still manages to impress. Always eager to rise to a fresh challenge, Gadd also broke the world distance record on a paraglider not once, but three times. He was also the first person to cross the U.S. by paraglider after a grueling seven-week trek.
