DIRTBAG: The Legend of Fred Beckey
July 1 – 5 pm Peninsula High School Theater, 27118 Silver Spur Road, RHE
(2017; 96 min)Fred Beckey is the original American “Dirtbag” climber whose name has evoked mystery, adulation and vitriol since the 1940s. Beckey’s stubborn, singular quest to conquer peaks meant a solitary life on the road, where he left a long trail of scorned climbing partners in his wake. Throughout his exceptional life, Fred kept meticulous personal journals. An environmentalist before there was such a word, Fred used these journals as the basis for 13 essential books that help connect aspiring climbers to the mountains. More than 30 additional interviews attest to Fred Becky’s legendary stature, environmental advocacy and iconic impact on the alpine world.
