Backpackers Book Club: Into Thin Air

Backpackers Book Club: Into Thin Air

Tue, Apr 28, 11:00 PM
From New York Backpackers
4.8

**Welcome to the Backpackers Book Club!** An outdoorsy literary adventure into nonfiction and fiction tales of exploration, survival, and resilience. This is our inaugural meeting, and our first book selection is Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. The format for selecting future books will be discussed at this first gathering. This is a community-driven club, and input, ideas, and recommendations are strongly encouraged and very welcome. For all book club events, we ask that participants come with an open mind. Opinions shared reflect those of the individual, and we ask that all discussion remain respectful so we can exchange ideas freely and without judgment. ——— *Into Thin Air* by Jon Krakauer 1. ⏩ How do people decide whether to keep going or turn back? *As you read Into Thin Air, notice what factors influence decisions—weather, ego, money, group pressure, experience.* **What seems to matter most in those moments?** *2. 🏔️* What do people owe each other in extreme situations? *Pay attention to how climbers treat one another on the mountain.* **If survival is at stake, how much responsibility do you have to help others?** *3. ❄️* How much of what happens is avoidable vs. inevitable? *Watch for choices, timing, leadership, and weather.* *Was this tragedy preventable—or was Everest always going to win?*

Looking to meet a new climbing community? Maybe you've just moved and would like to meet some new climbing partners? Or you are new to the community and sport and would like to meet up with some new friends! Every Tuesday we have a very psyched community leader to introduce climbers to our community and to each other! Many of the regulars to this meetup (8+) don't bother signing up, but you will see them climbing and chatting at the meetup. Parking on Hackensack streets is free after 6 pm, so don't be discouraged if the Goat parking lot is full, which is often. Please inform the front desk that you are here for the meetup to receive the $18(no rentals) or $21(shoes and harness included) discounted day pass! Top Rope belay and Lead belay checks are free, and provided by the Goat staff team. All experience levels welcome.

\*\* Make sure you **DO RSVP to the Meetup event** for the special entrance price \*\* Come get your climb on in Bushwick! Whether you've never climbed or you're a pro, whether you want to boulder, top-rope, or (maybe) lead, we'll partner up and climb some walls. MetroRock Bushwick is pretty evenly split between bouldering and rope climbing, so we'll form groups based on climbing preferences, and who's belay- and/or lead-certified, or willing to get certified. This event is open to all skill levels, but please note that teaching belay techniques is not permitted at MetroRock outside of a scheduled class. If you plan to take the belay test, please make sure your skills are up to speed before you arrive. If it's your first time at MetroRock, try to get there a few minutes early to allow for registration and signing the waiver. For those who wish to join, at around 9pm we will pop over to [Kings County Brewers Collective](https://www.kcbcbeer.com/), a few blocks away, for a quick drink. **Agenda:** * 6:50pm: Arrive at MetroRock, check-in at front desk and sign waiver if necessary * 7pm: Meet the other attendees in the area to the right of the front desk * 7:15pm: Form pairs (or groups of 3) and move into the gym to start climbing. * 9pm: Meet at the front desk again, and head out together to the brewery. **More info about MetroRock:** [https://bushwick.metrorock.com/bushwick-home](https://bushwick.metrorock.com/bushwick-home) Special deal for Rock Climb + Chill event attendees: **$23 entrance fee** with **gear rental included** (save $21 compared to the regular $32 day pass + $12 gear rental).
