Join us for the movie screening of " A life Outside: American Mountain Guides." This will be a casual and relaxed environment to view the documentary (conversations and chit chat allowed!).
The Wyoming PBS production, A Life Outside: American Mountain Guides, is a 90-minute documentary that pays tribute to Wyoming’s pioneering mountain guides by exploring the high-stakes world of American mountain guiding and its deep roots in the legacy of Paul Petzoldt—legendary mountaineer, founder of both the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) and North America’s oldest guide service, Exum.
The film weaves the story of a modern climb gone wrong with the remarkable life of Petzoldt (1908–99), a pioneer who scaled K2, set records on the Matterhorn, trained soldiers to fight Nazis in the Alps, and defined adventure itself. Set in the rugged peaks of the Tetons and the Alps, the 90-minute film follows those who face deadly risks every time they rope up, not for their own glory, but to get their clients back safely to the parking lot.
This documentary is a Wyoming PBS production directed by Mat Hames of Alpheus Media.
