Conference presentation: Vincent Landry’s mountaineering is a balance between total commitment and humility. Whether on the Grandes Jorasses in winter or on the Denali on skis, each expedition is a challenge where performance counts, but where the mountain imposes its own rules. Through these adventures, he will share a vision where surpassing oneself and respecting the environment go hand in hand.
One of the most comprehensive instructional references for climbing education, the 9th edition introduces techniques and maneuvers that combine the expertise and experience of generations of climbers. As a foundational resource, *The Freedom of the Hills* brings together best practices, skillfully validated by members of leading mountain guide organizations such as the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) and the American Alpine Club (AAC).
Climbing is a complex discipline that requires a wide range of skills, often misunderstood, especially by beginner or intermediate climbers. In this presentation, we will begin by defining climbing as a whole to better understand its specificities.
During this talk, Nathalie Fortin will share her experiences on various mountains around the world (Alaska, South America, France, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Pakistan, the Canadian Rockies, and Russia). She will discuss the unique challenges of climbing mountains at different altitudes, including the effects on the body, preparation, learning experiences, and more.
The two extremes of our sport come together: the most adventurous disciplines and techniques meet indoor climbing. Activities inspired by big wall climbing, winter ascents, mountaineering, and competitive dry-tooling will be on the agenda.
