This program will tell the story of how Jules Eichorn’s piano teacher, Ansel Adams, shaped his life with regard to music, mountains and the environment.We will also see a “home movie” of the first ascent of the Higher Cathedral Spire from April 15, 1934 by Jules Eichorn, Richard Leonard and Bestor Robinson. This marked the beginning of modern rock climbing in Yosemite Valley, according to Galen Rowell. This program will be presented by the daughter of Jules Eichorn, Linda Renfro, who fell in love with the Sierra on her first backpacking trip to Lake Ediza. It's a special treat that Linda will share with us some personal insight into the lives of these legendary figures of the Sierra.
Free and open to the general public.
