“From Big Walls to Big Hills, Emily Harrington and Adrian Ballinger’s Big Year” focuses on the couple’s 2015 quest to free climb Yosemite’s El Capitan and ski the 8,000-meter Himalayan giant Makalu together in one calendar year.

Their quest will be showcased Jan. 28 at 7pm as part of Alpenglow sports Winter Film Series at the Olympic Village Lodge at Squaw Valley.

Harrington’s life goal of free climbing El Capitan in Yosemite and Ballinger’s dream to ski Makalu, the fifth tallest peak in the world, presented some of the greatest challenges they’ve faced in their relationship together. Their experiences were rife with struggle, frustration, and failure that tested their partnership, but also poignant moments of intense joy and satisfaction that brought them closer together.

The event is free.
