This family-friendly celebration of his 365th climb will take place indoors and outdoors. There will be refreshments, music, and tables and chairs inside the Pico Ski Clubhouse. In addition, we’ll have outdoor games (ladder golf, bocce, can jam, and corn hole) and music outside at the base of Pico Mountain.
