Heason Events has three exciting tours lined up for this winter and is looking for venues who would like to host any or all of them:

October - Dave Graham

American superstar Dave Graham will give his first ever lecture tour as he roams the UK in search of the best and hardest grit and limestone boulder problems and routes. Dave is psyched to give as many talks as possible and climb as much as possible during the month of October. He will also be giving masterclasses.

November - Reel Rock Tour

Big UP Productions and Sender Films are the two biggest climbing film producers in the world, responsible for King Lines, First Ascent, the Dosage collection, Parallelojams, and more. Each year they run a US based Reel Rock tour to over 50 venues. This winter, for the first time, the tour is travelling to Europe. At this stage we can’t give the definitive line-up, but it is currently looking like this:

-Film Competition Winners 6 min (Two 3-minute films - winners of online competition, 1 action, 1 humour)
-Grand Canyon Walls 10 min (Tommy Caldwell, Beth Rodden, Chris McNamara, climbing and BASE, by Big UP and Sender)
-The Aerialist 10 min (Dean Potter movie, short version, winner of awards at most of the film festivals in 2007 and 2008)
-Alastair Lee's (Posing Productions) new stuff 10 min (short from his next
movie)
-Dosage shorts 15 min (Sport climbing and bouldering from Big UP)
-Intermission
-The Sharp End 50 min (Sender's new movie)

February / March - Chris Sharma

Following his hugely successful tour of the UK in March 2008 Chris Sharma will be back for a longer tour with a different talk in Feb / March 2009. Chris is without doubt the most famous climber on the planet, an all-round nice guy, and a great speaker to boot.

We are expecting demand for all three tours to be high. For that reason allocation will be on a first-come-first-served basis if you are interested in hosting any or all three of them please get in touch for more information as soon as possible.

If you are just interested in coming along to watch / listen, and don't already receive the Heason Events Newsletter please sign up via the website or drop us an email and we'll keep you posted.
