Rich Campbell, organizer of the Boone stop on the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, recently announced some big news for the 20th anniversary event scheduled for the following weekend.
World-class rock climber Alex Honnold is coming to Boone – along with veteran mountaineer and author David Roberts. Honnold is a known in the climbing industry and beyond for his ability to calmly climb terribly difficult ascents, some of which are nearly a half-mile in the air, without a rope.
“It should be a lot of fun,” Campbell said.
Roberts and Honnold will be in town to talk about adventure, climbing and writing as well as signing and promoting, On the Wall, a book about Honnold’s rock climbing exploits.
