Come join us for the premiere of “Best Things in Life Are Free” featuring Will Moss and his First Ascent of “Best Things in Life Are Free”.  Will has grown up in LIC and we are thrilled to present his accomplishment filmed by LIC members Henry Fernberger and Gregory Berg.

In fall 2022, William Moss, 18, made history with the first ascent of “Best Things in Life Are Free “ 5.14d R, one of the hardest trad climbs in the world. In the Gunks, New York, the Twilight Zone Buttress is home to the highest density of hard steep climbing on the cliff. Several routes and linkups were freed over the years but one aid line remained unclimbed. Best Things in Life Aren’t Free A4.

This steep 100-foot pitch is capped with a virtually blank roof with a 20 foot runout above a rusty nut placed 15 years ago. Only a handful of climbers have dared to take on the challenge, but all of them abandoned it, unable to solve the crux. Many considered it impossible and the risk of injury or death inevitable.

 Will’s ascent is a stunning feat of athleticism and courage, and has brought the Gunks back to the cutting edge of hard trad climbing. In collaboration with Reel Rock, we are excited to bring a private and intimate screening to Movement LIC.

Ticket includes a Free Beer and a Q&A with Will Moss.  Space is limited so purchase tickets ahead of time!
