Organizers of the Teton Boulder Project – a group dedicated to commemorating Jackson’s rich climbing history with a bouldering park – have an impressive lineup of speakers set to kick off a fundraiser on Saturday night at the Center for the Arts.

Following an opening address from local Teton climbing legend Renny Jackson,  crowds will be treated to presentations from Jack Tackle, Conrad Anker and Steve House.

The Teton Boulder Project aims to construct a bouldering park at the base of Snow King to permanently recognize Teton climbing’s significant role in the history of American mountaineering and provide a safe and enjoyable outlet to introduce newcomers to the sport of climbing.

For $20, guests at Saturday’s event will be treated to an evening with the 3 renowned alpinists and have a chance to bid on silent auction items. All proceeds will go towards funding construction of the new park.

Tickets are available at the center for the arts and the event is slated to kick off with cocktails and food, followed by presentations beginning at 7.
