World Renowned Slovenian Climber

Klemen Mali

Monday, May 21, 2012 7 pm

Park Avenue Bakery

Drinks and hors d'oeuvres served benefitting the Helena Boulder Project.

Suggested donation $50

Klemen Mali was born in the Slovenian alpine town of Kamnik. He started skiing and hiking as soon as he could walk, and began climbing as a young man with the Kamnik Alpine Club. He excelled at alpine back country skiing, and achieved many first ski ascents in the Alps. As a professional climber, Klemen has been around the world summiting the Kichatna Spires in Alaska, South America’s Andes, and the Pakistan Himalayas.

His website is www.climbthepeaks.com.

The good news: State Fund has grants available for community projects.  But the grant needs a cash match. We currently have close to $4,000 in pledges and cash--we need to raise another $1,000 in order to be able to apply for the $5,000 grant. 

If you are planning to contribute boulder initiative, now is the time.

Have a Beer, Support the Boulder Initiative

Bring all your friends to the Blackfoot River Brewery at 66 South Park Avenue on Monday, February 13 from 5-7 and show your support for the Helena Boulder Initiative. 

The Brewery will donate $1 for every pint sold.


On a less cheerful note, Helena climbers are mourning the loss of the climbing wall at the Broadwater Athletic Club. We hope someone will open a new indoor climbing gym soon--and look forward to climbing outside in Centennial Park come good weather and successful fundraising!

Helena Boulder Initiative Fundraiser Kickoff

To inspire current and future climbers, the Helena Recreation Foundation invites the public to The Hub this Sunday for a presentation by Luke Evans on his ice climbing adventures in Alaska.  Luke was recently published in Alpinist magazine and is a presenter the following week at Bozeman’s 15^th Annual Ice Climbing Festival where they’ll be celebrating 40 years of ice climbing in North America.  We’ll also be showing a new climbing film, The Scene, which takes a comprehensive look into four major epicenters of hard climbing and the characters who define them by their relentless commitment to the sport.  

The presentation and film are free, while donations are much appreciated for the Helena Boulder Project. After all, what better way to start a climbing adventure than on a boulder in our own backyard?  

Raffle at the Reel Rock Tour

Our first fundraising event will be held in conjunction with the Reel Rock Tour.

This amazing series of short films will inspire climbers and nonclimbers alike. At the film, you can buy raffle tickets for a number of fabulous prizes. Come out and join your fellow climbing enthusiasts for a rockin' good time.
