If you think that Alpinism is just for single dirtbags, then think again! Join us for Helen Teasdale’s Alpine Story, Alpining with Kids, where she shares her stories of family adventures in the Alps. Starting when their son Ollie was just three, Helen and her husband Andy, a photographer and mountain guide, began introducing their son to the joys of walking to and sleeping in mountain huts. In this talk, she will share their first family alpine mountaineering experiences in an area of Switzerland called the Wiwannihorn; accessed from the Rhone valley.
