Alpine Club Talk

Edmond Stevens has summited major peaks in the Western U.S., the Peruvian Andes, Equador's volcanos, the Alps, and the Himalayas. He regularly guides backcountry ski trips in the Wasatch Range and the Eastern Sierras, and ascents of Mt. Rainier. At 69, he still climbs WI5 and 6 ice and is a regular participant in the Ouray, CO, Ice Fest.

A semi-retired television and motion picture writer and a 35-year member of the Writers Guild of America, his filmmaking experience translates into a number of high altitude video productions. His most recent climbing project was an a 2016 ascent of Mount Everest's North Col, an expedition captured in a Hi-Def video short which will be part of his talk and Q&A.

For the coming year, Edmond is planning to accumulate 100,000 vertical feet of backcountry ski ascents (and descents), as well as a projected expedition to climb Pakistan's Broad Peak, one of the fourteen 8,000 meter peaks.

The talk will be followed by a reception with free refreshments.
