The screenings will take place on Thursday, November 26 at the Centennial Theatre at 2300 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver. Tickets are $13 advance and $15 at the door.

Kevin Jorgeson pushes bouldering to dangerous new heights on Ambrosia in the California Buttermilks. Patxi Usobiaga and Johanna Ernst train like Olympians for the World Cup competitions.
