SUMMARY:Chelsea Sodaro: An Unlikely Journey to Triathlon\, Motherhood\, and Ironman World Champion
DESCRIPTION:Door time: 7:00\nShow time: 7:30 \nPresented By\n \nChelsea Sodaro is a trailblazer in endurance sport and a powerful voice for mothers everywhere. A former collegiate All-American and national champion runner at UC Berkeley\, Chelsea discovered triathlon only in 2017\, yet rose quickly to the sport’s highest level. In 2021 she gave birth to her daughter\, Skye\, and just 18 months later stunned the endurance world by winning the 2022 IRONMAN World Championship in Kona\, becoming the first American woman in more than 25 years and the first rookie in decades to claim the crown. She followed that with a podium finish at the 2024 World Championships\, proving her dominance was no one-time feat. \nOff the race course\, Chelsea channels her competitive drive into advocacy. Through her work with For All Mothers+ and the annual Unlocking Yes summit she founded\, she raises awareness and funding for maternal health\, mental wellness\, and gender equity in sport. Chelsea’s story is one of grit and reinvention—an inspiring reminder that the biggest breakthroughs often come when we embrace change\, honor our well-being\, and dare to reimagine what’s possible. \nALL TICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF SERVICE FEES

SUMMARY:Jake Norton: Lost on Everest - The Enduring Mystery of Mallory & Irvine - SOLD OUT!
DESCRIPTION:Door time: 7:00\nShow time: 7:30 \nPresented By\n \nOn June 8\, 1924\, at 12:50 PM\, two tiny figures were seen by climber Noel Odell less than 1\,000 feet below the summit of Mount Everest. It was George Mallory and Andrew Irvine closing in on the top\, hoping to be the first to reach that highest point of all. But then\, “the whole fascinating vision vanished\, enveloped in cloud…” Mallory and Irvine were never seen alive again. \nTheir disappearance sparked a century-long mystery: Did Mallory and Irvine reach the summit in 1924\, some 29 years before Hillary and Tenzing climbed Everest from the Nepal side? \nIn the 101 years since\, numerous discoveries have been high on the mountain. On May 1\, 1999\, Jake Norton was a climber and photographer with the team that found Mallory’s remains at nearly 27\,000 feet on the North Face. That discovery made headlines and history\, but failed to resolve the mystery. Jake has returned three additional times (2001\, 2004\, and 2019) specifically to find answers and\, while he’s discovered much\, the mystery remains. And\, amazingly\, in 2024\, a National Geographic team stumbled upon the foot of Andrew Irvine in the Central Rongbuk Glacier\, roughly 8\,000 feet below where Mallory was found 25 years prior. \nBut\, yes again\, the mystery remains: Did Mallory and Irvine reach the summit before they died? \nIn this presentation\, Jake Norton – who has spent more time than most off route\, scrambling around above 8000m on Everest looking for answers – will take you through the story of Mallory and Irvine\, their climb\, their disappearance\, and what may have happened to the duo over a century ago\, while also pondering whether the perennial question – Did they summit? – is even the right one to be asking in the first place. \n \nALL TICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF SERVICE FEES

SUMMARY:Dreama Team (film screening)
DESCRIPTION:The story of ultra-runner and mom\, Dreama Walton\nDoors: 7:00 \nShowtime: 7:30 \nCome see Dreama Walton’s film\, Dreama Team followed by a post-film Q&A with Dreama Walton. \nWhen you meet Dreama\, in many ways she’s like any other person. Someone you could grab a burger or a beer with. She’s a mom\, co-parenting her daughter. She works as a full-time IT employee. But Dreama has an extraordinary hobby. She’s an ultra runner… and she’s just gotten into America’s biggest ultra marathon: The Western States 100. \nAs she runs the 100 mile race from Olympic Valley\, CA to Auburn\, CA\, the film begins to explore her upbringing and what fuels her: A traumatic childhood. A younger sister that never gave up. A new community that changed the direction of her life. She finds encouragement in unexpected places\, and begins to seek out a new way for herself\, outside of the poor choices of her traditional role models. Knowing that she’s overcome these past experiences\, it gives her strength in the present\, to push toward the infamous 24-hour cutoff. \nThe film explores Dreama’s backstory\, the value of “Struggle” in one’s life and how hardships shape the way that obstacles are perceived. It shows a person deciding to willfully enter into struggle. \nThe effort comes from independent filmmakers Chad Weber and Steve Vanderheide in their first feature-length film. \n“Dreama Team” is an independent production that has been in the works for two years\, and was made possible by the grassroots efforts of countless individuals.

SUMMARY:Eddie Taylor: From Eldo To Everest
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 7:00 PM \nShowtime: 7:30 PM \n  \nSupported by:\n \nOn May 12th of 2022 Eddie Taylor joined six other climbers on the summit of Mount Everest for the first all Black ascent of the Nepalese mountain. Seven months earlier\, Eddie climbed the Moonlight Buttress\, a 5.12+ 1000’ sandstone wall in Zion National Park. These two ascents show the ability of Eddie to balance being a teacher\, husband\, soon-to-be father\, and climber.  \nFrom crimping up Madagascar’s 2\,000 foot granite big walls to kicking steps up South America’s tallest mountain Aconcagua to skiing North America’s tallest mountain Denali to climbing over 50 laps on Eldorado Canyon’s The Naked Edge (5.11c) \, Eddie’s mountain adventures have been a vehicle for him to see the world and to gain both cultural and environmental perspective. \nComing from a demographic with the lowest graduation rate and highest incarceration rate\, he has turned what traditionally has been seen as a barrier into success. Upon completing a double major and finishing his track and field career at the University of Colorado\, Eddie went on to become a passionate rock climber\, public school science teacher\, head track and field coach and more recently Patagonia ambassador. \nWith 1% of the climbing community and 2% of educators being black\, Eddie stood out. His experiences in the mountains and in the classroom taught him the need for change not only in the outdoors but in the world. Eddie hopes to share these stories\, and create a heritage for his community that will hopefully fuel and inspire future generations. \nCheck out Team Full Circle’s feature in The Daily Show with Eddie Taylor:\n \n*All tickets subject to service fees \n

But what happens when the exact thing that gives her confidence\, ends up traumatizing her? Join Molly as she delves into her climbing career battling mental illness\, and the aftermath of taking a 30 foot fall to the ground in October 2020. Her speech will discuss her road to success\, and how a broken back that’s now healed physically\, has affected her mind and identity as a climber for the long haul. \nMolly Mitchell is a professional rock climber who lives in Longmont\, CO. At 28 years old\, she has already achieved a lifelong goal of climbing a traditional route rated 5.14 (placing all her own gear)\, with her 2019 send of “China Doll\,” located in Boulder Canyon. In October 2020\, she took a 30 foot ground fall on a different route in Boulder Canyon and fractured two vertebrae. She is also very open over the years about her struggle with mental illness (anxiety and depression) and how the accident has affected her mental health greatly. She is a speaker for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Today she is back climbing again\, but with a much different perspective and a lot of growth that she feels had to happen in her climbing journey. \nModerated by Bill Briggs\nBill Briggs grew up in Boulder\, learned to climb in the Flatirons and nearby canyons\, and has climbed and run in the Colorado Rockies all his life. *All tickets subject to service fees

Lynn changed the definition of what is possible in rock climbing with her first free ascent of the most famous big wall climb in the world called The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite Valley\, California. Over nineteen years later\, Tommy Caldwell and Lynn are still the only two people in the world to have succeeded in making an all free one-day ascent of The Nose. \nModerated by Bill Briggs\nBill Briggs grew up in Boulder\, learned to climb in the Flatirons and nearby canyons\, and has climbed and run in the Colorado Rockies all his life. \n*All tickets subject to service fees
