Denali Rescue Volunteers present their fundraising event a Mount Huntington Climbs Presentation at the Sheldon Community Arts Hangar on Friday, June 12th at 7pm. The evening opens with a rare short film documenting the second ascent of Mt. Huntington—captured in 1976, exactly 50 years ago.
That remarkable climb sets the stage for Cindy Jones, a member of that historic expedition and the first woman to reach the summit. Cindy will share the story of her iconic ascent of the Northwest (French) Ridge—a powerful account of perseverance, hardship, and triumph alongside teammates including Roger Robinson.
Following Cindy, Brian McCullough and Lance Leslie will take the stage to recount their bold 1981 alpine-style ascent of the French Ridge and the mountain’s first complete traverse.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of celebration, history, and storytelling.
Tickets are $10 and there will be amazing door prizes!! More info on prizes to come.
