SLO Motion hosts a screening of Climbing Out of Disaster at The Pad Climbing in Santa Maria on Friday, Nov. 8, at 5:30 p.m. The event is part of Climb On, SLO Motion’s ongoing series screening short, climbing-inspired films.
Climbing Out of Disaster tells the story of climbers in San Juan, Puerto Rico, that sprang into action after Hurricane Maria hit; bouldering buildings to bring people supplies and clearing roads for emergency vehicles. Proceeds of this screening will benefit El Bloque, the first bouldering gym in Puerto Rico, which is still in the construction phase.
Tickets to the event are $25 at the door or $20 in advance. The Pad Climbing is located at 2399 A St., Santa Maria. SLO Motion is also hosting an additional screening of Climbing Out of Disaster at Mission Plaza in Downtown SLO on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 7 p.m. Visit slomotionfilm.com to find out more about either screening and other upcoming events scheduled in the Climb On series.
