Panida hosting climbing film

Clint Helander is building a reputation as a world class mountain climber and, among his most recent accomplishments is a climb of Alaska’s Mount Huntington. A documentary of the monument climb by Helander and Jess Roskelley will be shown Saturday at the Panida Theater.

The showing of “Alaska’s Mt. Huntington” will begin at 7 p.m. at the Panida.

The event will be a night of stories, pictures and videos from Helander and Jess Roskelley’s monumental climb of Mount Huntington. Over eight days in April 2017, the duo completed one of the biggest first ascents in North America in recent history. This presentation will feature an introduction by John Roskelley, one of the world’s most renowned climbers in the 1970-1990s. A brief question-and-answer period will follow as well as a prize giveaway will follow the presentation. Helander’s images from this climb have already been featured in numerous publications including Patagonia and Alpinist and Rock and Ice Magazines.

All proceeds will go to benefit The Firn Line, a new podcast about the lives of Mountain climbers.

Tickets are $8 adults, and $4 under 18. They area available at Eichardt’s, Pedro’s, Sandpoint West Athletic Club, at the door, and online at panida.org.
