Community Event: THE IMPOSSIBLE CLIMB with Mark Synnott
7pm • Whitney Community Center
Presentation starts at 7:30pm. In The Impossible Climb, Jackson’s own Mark Synnott uses his own career as a professional climber, its intersection with that of Alex Honnold and the lead-up to Honnold’s historic ascent, to paint a insider portrait of the elite climbing community, exploring what motivates them, the paradoxical drive to keep the sport pure and at the same time to fund climbs, and the role that awareness of mortality plays in the endeavour. We watch through Mark’s eyes as Alex plots, trains and attempts his heart-stopping free-solo ascent. This is the story which was also chronicled as a documentary in Free Solo. Books will be available for purchase and signing by the author.
