During her multimedia presentation, Improbable Ascent, paraclimber Maureen Beck will go into detail about her first big alpine expedition in 2018, which brought her to Nahanni National Park in Northwest Territories.
When: Tuesday, April 25, 7 p.m.Maureen Beck was drawn to rock climbing for the same reasons many climbers gravitate to the sport — the mental challenges, problem-solving component and physical rewards.
The Denver-based rock climber is appearing tonight at the Royal Theatre as part of the ongoing National Geographic Live speaker series. During her 70-minute multimedia presentation, Improbable Ascent, she’ll cover facets of her journey to this point. She also goes into detail about her first big alpine expedition in 2018, which brought her to Nahanni National Park in Northwest Territories.
“When I think of National Geographic, I think of scientists and really smart people,” Beck said with a good-natured laugh. “I’m just a rock climber. For me, it’s more about the storytelling. I picture the theatre as a big campfire setting, and this is my turn to tell my story.” “I never had to learn another way. Many of my main climbing partners had tragic accidents, so if anything I help them out.”
“Now, people don’t think it’s weird that someone missing a limb is rock climbing,” she said. “It’s normal. That is something that I have been working toward for years now.”
