Alpenglow Sports’ fourth Tailgate Talk will feature Peter Croft, Doug Robinson, and author of “Why We Climb” Chris Noble.

The event is Oct. 25 at 7pm at the Tahoe City shop.

It will be a night to celebrate the soul of climbing with a night of stories, slides, and excerpts from the book.

“Why We Climb” is an exploration of the connection between climber and nature, an appreciation of the physical and mental skill of climbers, and a celebration of exploring the self, and the world, through climbing.

Croft and Robinson will join Noble for the talk and share their climbing wisdom and experience. Croft is a Canadian climber with an impressive list of Sierra first ascents and free solos. Robinson is a professional mountaineer and Tahoe local known for spearheading the “Clean Climbing” revolution in the 1970s, aimed at reducing the impact of rock climbing on the rock and environment. Robinson has a staggering collection of first ascents in the Sierra, and has spent over half a century guiding and sharing his love of mountaineering in the U.S. and across the globe.

Tickets are $7 at the door. Sierra Nevada will be served, and beer donation proceeds will benefit the Donner Land Trust and Preserve Black Wall Initiative.
