Dirtbag: The Legend of Fred Beckey

Come join the Ontario climbing community for the Toronto Screening of Dirtbag: The Legend of Fred Beckey and Gear Raffle presented by the Ontario Access Coalition.

All proceeds will go to the OAC to keep local climbing areas open.

Fred Beckey is the original American “Dirtbag” climber whose name has evoked mystery, adulation and vitriol since the 1940s. Beckey’s stubborn, singular quest to conquer peaks meant a solitary life on the road, where he left a long trail of scorned climbing partners and lost lovers in his wake. The groundbreaking life story of this rebel athlete, who inspiredgenerations with his monumental first ascents, eloquent books and the lifestyle he fearlessly pioneered, is told for the first time in this exclusive documentary film.

Tickets are $15. Tickets for the Gear Raffle will be available at the event!

Sponsored by Mountain Equipment Co-op, Patagonia Toronto, The Alpine Club of Canada: Toronto Chapter, the Ontario Access Coalition, and Gripped Magazine.
