BIF24: Friday - Timmy O'Neill, Graham Zimmerman, Sam Hennessey

It doesn’t get much better than this—a great lineup that starts out with Ice Fest favorites, the Bear Canyon Singers and Dancers!

They’ll be followed by an inspiring evening with Timmy O’Neill, Graham Zimmerman, and Sam Hennessey, who will each be sharing stories, insights, and images from their respective projects.

Sam Hennessey grew up in Port Angeles, WA, and had his first alpine misadventures in the Olympic Mountains. He moved to Bozeman, MT after college, where he currently works as a mountain guide and has a very nice storage unit.

Graham Zimmerman is a professional climber, Piolet d’Or recipient, community leader, vocal climate activist, and an award-winning creative. He is also simply a mountain lover striving for a balance between people, nature, and exertion.

Timmy O’Neill is a professional rock climber who has set world speed climbing records in Yosemite and established new routes in Patagonia, Venezuela and Greenland. He is also the founder and director of Paradox Sports, a nonprofit organization that offers adaptive sports programs for disabled athletes. The Boulder resident also works as an ophthalmic technician, helping to cure blindness in Asia and Africa.
