SENDING IT: Climbing El Dorado

SI website banner updated

SENDING IT: Climbing El Dorado examines the unique and world-renowned climbing features perched along Hwy 50. The exhibition focuses on Lover's Leap, Phantom Spires, and Sugarloaf - three large granite outcroppings that attract climbers from around the globe. Taking a grass-roots curatorial approach, the exhibition combines community sourced photographs with images from the personal archives of legendary climber Royal Robbins, along with maps, ephemera, oral histories and video presentations.

In Their Own Words was filmed and produced by Stuart Harmon (StuartHarmon.com) and explores the lived stories of long-time rock climbers in El Dorado County.
