What's happening?

January Presentation- Tuesday, January 10, 6 pm.

We are honored to have legendary Montana climber Terry Kennedy as our feature presenter this month! Amongst other numerous accomplishments,Terry made the first ascents of two of the biggest faces in North America- the north faces of Mt. Cleveland and Mt. Siyeh.

Terry Kennedy is a fourth generation Montanan, born in Fort Benton in 1954, and raised in Columbia Falls. His interest in mountaineering grew quickly from hiking the mountains surrounding the Flathead Valley to the peaks of Glacier and elsewhere. He pioneered routes on several faces in Glacier and published the book, “In Search of the Mount Cleveland Five” (2017), which begins with the disappearance of five young Montana climbers on Mount Cleveland during the closing days of 1969 and progresses through highlights of the next 22 years of Terry’s climbing endeavors, most of it partnered with Jim Kanzler the brother of one of the missing Mount Cleveland Five. He will include his hypothesis on how the 1969 tragedy unfolded.

Terry will have copies of his book on hand for sale and signing!

Location: Spirit of Peace Community Building- 506 Toole Avenue. This is located on the northside of the downtown area- very close to the pedestrian bridge over the train tracks.
