This Friday, June 27, please join Alpine Shop in welcoming home one of St. Louis’ own for a night of adventure and inspiration at our Kirkwood location.

Brad Clement, a Webster Groves native, in town this weekend for his wedding (!), but he’s also agreed to do a presentation on Friday night, June 27 at 7 pm on his work with the Everest Peace Project 2006 climb. He captured this expedition on film as the cinematographer for Everest: A Climb for Peace. This film was hailed as a “tremendous achievement” by the Dalai Lama and recently received a Gold REMI Award at the 41st Annual Houston WorldFest International Film Festival in April.

Friday night’s presentation will feature a showing of the film as well as a question and answer session with Brad.

Brad's specialty is capturing dramatic and captivating imagery of the worlds most remote and amazing places. From an early age, Brad has been fascinated with the natural world. Over the years, the love for wild regions of the globe has had a major influence on his life and professional direction. More than just a camera operator, Brad has a solid background in wilderness travel and expeditionary life, including professional work as a mountaineering guide and instructor for leading international guide services. This outdoor background, combined with his camera skills, helps to ensure Brad's ability to deliver professional and aesthetically satisfying camera results under harsh conditions and in complex environments.

Brad’s footage and photos have been featured on Discovery, PBS, NBC, CNN, The Outdoor Channel, FOX Sports Net and as part of major corporate marketing campaigns. Brad has summited Everest and has filmed on the mountain three times.

Brad and his finace, Tonya Riggs, will be at Alpine Shop Kirkwood at 440 North Kirkwood Road from 7 to 9 pm this Friday, June 27. Join us for a free night of adventure!

 

More information on
Everest: A Climb for Peace

Film Overview: Narrated by Orlando Bloom and hailed as a “tremendous achievement" by the Dalai Lama. Everest: A Climb for Peace is not just a typical Everest film, but a socially relevant documentary about peace, war, and the human spirit - an inspirational film, which has some of the most incredible Everest footage ever shot, including a dramatic rescue from near the summit of Everest. Filmed on location in Nepal, Tibet, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, U.A.E, and the United States, the film chronicles the spectacular journey of 9 'peace climbers' from different faiths and cultures as they climb to the summit of the tallest mountain in the world. The focus is on Palestinian Ali Bushnaq and Israeli's Dudu Yifrah and Micha Yaniv. They come together and set aside their differences to forge a path of teamwork and cooperation to attempt to summit the world’s highest peak. This however, is easier said than done. Their nations have been embroiled in a brutal war for years; each believes they are on the right side of that war and each knows that on Everest the cooperation of your teammate is a matter of life and death.

“Everest: A Climb for Peace” is extremely dramatic from start to finish. Visually
stimulating it also provides the audience with a powerful yet simple message: in an
atmosphere of peace and through friendship and teamwork anything can be
accomplished, even climbing the world’s highest peak with your perceived enemy.
