Kentucky ice climbers.
Two friends thru-hiking the Grand Canyon.
And a native of Michigan’s upper peninsula who catches waves on Lake Superior, fighting deadly currents and masses of ice to surf in below-freezing water.
These are some of the passionate outdoorsmen and women whose stories will be featured Monday night, March 16, when the Banff Mountain Film Festival stops in Walker Theatre.
The festival’s nine adrenaline-pumping short films will showcase rock climbers, kayakers, skiers and even an animated short during the two-hour screening. Some of the films travel to U.S destinations; others will take the audience to exotic foreign locales.
