Don’t Miss Barry Blanchard’s Bear Stories Today!

The top Canadian climber has had more bear encounters than most backcountry users

Barry Blanchard is not only one of Canada’s most legendary climbers, he’s also one of the best storytellers. On April 22, the Canmore-based mountain guide will share tales from the wild about the times he’s bumped into bears in the backcountry. Visit the event page here.

From running away from bears on glaciers to being chased up trees with clients, Blanchard’s bear story collection is rich with frightening moments and humour. You don’t want to miss this storytelling session. Details below, which are part of Yamnunka Mountain Adventure’s new Guide’s Talk series.
