Marmot Mountain Works is hosting An Evening with Fred Beckey next Tuesday, May 17th at 7:00 p.m. at their store location in Bellevue.

Fred will share stories and classic climbing images of his own choosing as he narrates a number of his many countless mountain adventures.

Come kick off your spring/summer hiking/climbing/skiing season and get a little inspiration for your next outing from this prolific Northwest local mountain man...even in his 80s, Fred always seems to be planning and looking forward to his next trip!

Yes, Fred Beckey does still ski...although, the focus of this show will be climbing related.

Folks will start showing up around 6pm, and the show will begin at 7pm.

DUE TO LIMITED SEATING, RSVP IS REQUIRED IN ADVANCE IN ORDER TO ATTEND THIS EVENT.  We expect the seats to fill up fast, so don’t wait until the last minute.

Please call Marmot Mountain Works in Bellevue at 425-453-1515 now to RSVP and reserve yourself a seat!

We hope to see you all there!

Thanks to everyone that showed up for the evening with Fred Beckey! We saw some great oldschool climbing footage dating back to 1940...just tie the rope around your waist and go for it!...would hate to take a leader fall tied in like that...ouch...Lots of folks got to meet Fred Beckey and have him sign copies of his guidebooks for them. There was even a few photo ops.

It was also great to see Fred bring in his ski gear to us for some tweaking.

Don't forget about our Spring Sale that started today. Most winter products are now at rock bottom clearance prices!

- Cheers, David

It was great to meet the old guy. A special experience for my 21 year old nephew. Many thanks to Marmot.
