John Bachar Presentation At Great Western Power Co.
Quick heads up for an event that is coming up on March 7th here at Great Western Power Co., a week from this Friday. We're lucky enough to have a live presentation from John Bachar, one of the world's greatest free soloists that will take place after hours at GWPC.
The presentation will be a combination of slideshow images and some storytelling from John; if you're a fan of climbing at all, this will be an event you really don't want to miss out on. Tickets are only $10 if you purchase them in advance and only $12 at the door.
So mark your calendars for March 7th at 6:30 pm and come listen to what is sure to be an exciting night of photos and stories.
Hopefully we'll see you there!

GWPC Story Night! December 3rd!
This event, my good climbing friends, is one you will NOT want to miss. December 3rd, only a little over a week away, is rapidly approaching and each and every one of you in the Great Western Power Company area should be marking it down on your calendar. Why, you ask? Simple, STORY NIGHT with Hans Florine.
Yep, you heard right. December 3rd at 8:00 pm the official storytelling and presentation begins, my advice, come early to get in some climbing so you're completely in the groove come story time. Here is some more information you need to know, to be in the know:
On a separate, unrelated note, I just wanted to remind each and every one of you, members of all the different Touchstone Climbing Gyms, that all of our Touchstone Gyms will have special, Holiday Hours on Wednesday, and Friday before and after Thanksgiving. We will be closed Thanksgiving Day, but give your local gym a call to see their hours for the days before and after!

December 3rd come for a night of Stories about one thing: The Nose.There you have it, mark it down and we'll see you there!
The first story telling of the new Nose record. (Yuji Hirayama and Hans climbed it in 2:37:05 on October 12th 2008) Hans Florine will share an evening with you at: The Great Western Power Company. With the aid of video clips and photos Hans will tell stories about Yuji Hirayama and Hans's preparations, history, planning, drama, training, and execution of climbing The Nose Route of El Capitan, the 3000ft granite cliff in Yosemite.
Touchstone Climbing is hosting the event at:

Touchstone had 150 limited edition photographic prints made to commemorate 50 years of climbing The Nose route. These prints are for sale at: www.speedclimb.com/50th. We will try to reserve some to auction at the December 2/3rd event. If you want to guarantee there is one there for you, buy it online and put in the notes section of the checkout that you'll pick it up at the December 2/3rd event. (or say nothing and we'll ship it)
Light refreshments and drinks will be available. A $16 admission fee will be charged for non Touchstone climbing members. Funds raised during the event will go to benefit the Access Fund and the YCA - which created the Climbing museum in Yosemite.
