Legacy Series, Episode 8: Jack Tackle, First Ascents in the Alaska Range

Jack Tackle was a van dweller before he became a climber, but on that first day, he was hooked. He loved the anarchy of the small fringe activity that was climbing, and he would go on to channel that anarchy into proud first ascents, including FA's on Waddington as well as throughout the Alaska Range. Dive into this film to hear Tackle's reflections on his mountain life, his first ascents, and what motivated him to keep pushing his technical edge.

Met him high up on Denali in the mid nineties, very humble soul, a true no nonsense climbers climber if you know what I mean.
