2024 Annual Roder Dinner

Join us for a special evening featuring keynote Tico Gangulee.

Between 2016 and 2018, Tico embarked on four thrilling journeys to Asia, each with the goal of pioneering new climbing routes. Two of these expeditions—one to India and the other to Pakistan—stood out as particularly remarkable. These adventures, while centered around the same passion, unfolded in strikingly different ways, each offering its own unique challenges and rewards. In Tico's talk, he will take you behind the scenes of these contrasting experiences, revealing the highs, lows, and the unexpected moments that made each trip unforgettable. Join us as he unravels the stories of rugged landscapes, cultural encounters, and the pursuit of the most epic ascents.

Don't forget to bring a dish to share as we connect with friends and enjoy a beer at New Terrain Brewing at the 2024 Annual Roder Dinner. All proceeds from the ticket registration support our education programs that promote mountain safety, helping us to continue providing essential training and resources. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate, be inspired, and support our mission!
