Local Sierra Club Open House: Outings, Conservation, and Influence

11/12/2009 7:00 PM

Join members of the Sierra Club's PV/South Bay group for a screening of the film "Vertical Frontier: A History of the Art, Sport and Philosophy of Rock Climbing in Yosemite".

Kristi Denton Cohen's feature documentary, Vertical Frontier narrated by Tom Brokaw, won "Best Film on Climbing" at the prestigious Banff Mountain Film Festival in 2002 and at the Kendall Mountain Film Festival in 2003. From John Muir in the 1860's to the super athletes of today, "Vertical Frontier" is the character-driven story of the art, sport and philosophy of climbing the legendary big walls of Yosemite. You'll get a real feeling of the connection that we as people have to the wilderness.

For more info on the film visit: http://www.verticalfrontier.org/

The Sierra Club is not some monolithic conservation club. It is truly a grass-roots organization devoted to "exploring, enjoying, and protecting the wild places of the earth". Come and meet some local (South Bay) activists associated with our outings, conservation, and political action portions of our club. Then join our club at our special $25 introductory rate.
