Life on the Edge – a talk with Tom Jungst
February 20 @ 7:00pm
Steep. A lifetime of climbing and skiing on the edge.
Tom took extreme skiing to another level in the early 80s by combining his skills as a ski racer with ice and rock climbing to create complex routes from Europe to Alaska to the Northern Rockies. The remote peaks of Montana became a testing ground for a new style of extreme skiing that led him to articles in every major ski magazine and even Rolling Stone. By the mid 80’s Tom was skiing for Warren Miller and the wild crew put together by Greg Stump. Classic films such as “Going To Extremes”, “License To Thrill” or “Groove Requiem” are still popular today. With first ascents of ice and rock routes as well Tom’s skillset expanded and included multiple solo climbs and two ski descents of the Grand Teton. With Alex Lowe he completed the 3rd and fastest ascent of “The Tempest”, rated A5 in 13 days on El Capitan. Giving “Steep” a new meaning.
Please join Tom as he shares some of the ups and downs of his mountain adventures.
