Join the ACC Vancouver section on Tuesday April 24, 2012, 7:30 pm, BCIT Telus Theatre (SE6) 233 as Will Gadd recounts his top 30s - 30 trips in 60 minutes! Sit down, hang on, try to keep up with some of the wildest adventures on the planet. Rated R for occasional profanity, mild nudity and all-out good times.
Will is an ACC member and climbing guru living in Canmore, AB. Will grew up in a family that hiked, climbed and went into the mountains whenever they could. Some of his earliest memories are of long backpacking trips, wind-blown summits and surviving winter ski trips.
The first sport he really got into on his own was caving. When he was 14 he started kayaking. At 16 he bought his first climbing rope, and did his first new rock route. At 25 he first flew a paraglider. At 41 his daughter came into the world. She’s already doing all the stuff he did as a kid, and she’s an athlete too.

Kinda figured. Both from Canmore and both with an interest in mountains. |
