Description

How we first learn climbing can have major impacts down the road. This talk will take a deep dive into the unconscious biases and paradigms deeply embedded in climbing culture. Come join Max Lurie of Alpine to the Max and Neptune Mountaineering for an engaging evening of discussions. From specific technical topics to the origins of climbing as a sport. We’ll change how you think about why you do what you do and discover how to do it better. Max Lurie is an AMGA certified Rock and Alpine Guide, as well as an accomplished alpinist. Climbing in the alpine on rock, snow, and ice has always been Max’s biggest passion. Sharing the mountains with people has been his career. By curating mountain experiences and teaching people mountain craft so they can be self-sufficient, Max makes stewards of everyone he climbs with. So that they can safely and respectfully appreciate the wild and hard to reach places that Max loves. Max owns and operates Alpine to the Max, a Boulder based climbing guide service.
