Presented by the Green Mountain Club:
Rock Climbing Abroad and At Home
Andrea Charest
Thursday, April 27, 7 P.M.
GMC Visitor Center, Waterbury Center
For Andrea Charest, climbing is a way of life. She has woven climbing into her job, her relationship, her free time, and even her dog’s life. Andrea owns Petra Cliffs Climbing Center in Burlington with her husband Steve, where they have helped to grow the climbing community. When she’s not working at the center or guiding—you guessed it—she’s usually climbing rock or ice, sometimes with skis on her back. Andrea has traveled across the country and internationally for work and play. She returns to Vermont with a new perspective and appreciation for climbing routes in New England. She will share her perspective on life from the side of a wall and discuss some of the most impressive features our natural landscape has to offer, some in our own back yard.
Admission is $5 for members and $8 for nonmembers; kids under 12 are free. Tickets are available at the door only. Proceeds support local sections and the GMC Education Program.
