Who wants to see Barry Blanchard live! We have 4 tickets to see Barry Blanchard present at the Banff Mountain Film Festival tomorrow (Thursday Nov. 6 at 12:30pm) The first 4 people to comment on this post will get a ticket to the presentation. The Calling by Barry Blanchard World renowned Canmore alpinist and guide Barry Blanchard is no stranger to past Festival audiences. Blanchard has appeared in films, on numerous panels and as a guest speaker at many past festivals. This year, Blanchard returns to the stage with his brand new memoir, The Calling: A Life Rocked by Mountains. From the Rupal Face on Nanga Parbat to the north face of Les Droites to the sketchy first ascent of the North Pillar of North Twin in the Canadian Rockies, Blanchard tells the rock ‘em sock ‘em stories that fast tracked his initiation into the realm of climbing legends. Written in part during his residency at The Banff Centre’s Mountain and Wilderness Writing program, The Calling transports us from the character shaping harsh realities of growing up Métis in Calgary, to the rough and tumble, unforgiving world of hardcore alpine climbing. A book signing will follow the presentation.
