A Day with Fred Beckey in the Dolomites

If there is one iconic climber, one person who stands out above the rest as discovering more new routes, climbing more rock, and ascending more ice than anyone else in history, it's Fred Beckey. Alpinist Colin Haley and Patagonia teamed up to make a video about the 90-year-old climber, about him climbing in a place that he'd never been before: the Dolomites.

Warning

Climbing, skiing and mountaineering are dangerous sports. When you undertake an outdoor, backcountry, or an alpine adventure without a guide, you assume total responsibility for your decisions and wellbeing. Conditions in the mountains are constantly changing, and no guidebook or computer web blog can take the place of solid training and experience. Though this site features descriptions of roads, trails, climbing routes, and other natural features, you cannot assume that because something is described here that it has not changed since last observed or that it will be safe for you or your party. AAI assumes no responsibility or liability for your use of the information presented in this blog. With regard to all backcountry travel and climbing, you must make your own assessments and decisions, and you assume all risks in applying them.
