- **Event Name**: Book Talk: Joanna Croston - Women in Mountaineering
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Mountaineering Women is a richly illustrated collection of the astonishing and often surprising stories that celebrate the achievements of twenty women climbers, spanning both history and the globe including stories about Lynn Hill, Catherine Destivelle, Brette Harrington and others. Even though women have a pronounced and rich history in the sport, they are conspicuously absent from mountaineering literature, until now. As adventure pursuits like climbing and mountaineering continue to gain popularity, women's visibility in those sports has also come under the spotlight. Joanna Croston will present her new book and answer questions from the audience. Book sales and a book signing with follow.

Joanna Croston grew up and went to university in Eastern Canada and moved to the Canadian Rockies permanently in 1998. She has climbed many of the classic 11,000 ft peaks in the area and is an avid backcountry skier having toured throughout North America, The Alps, Japan, Kashmir and the Indian Himalaya.   As a voracious reader of mountain literature and a die-hard film enthusiast, she is the Director of Mountain Culture at Banff Centre for Arts &amp; Creativity. Her writing has appeared in Highline Magazine, Gripped, The Canadian Alpine Journal, The Canadian Rockies Annual, Mountain Life and Alpinist. She is the author of Breaking Trail: The Chic Scott Story and her work is part of the Waymaking anthology, an award-winning collection of women’s adventure writing published in Autumn 2018. She is the former North American representative for the International Alliance for Mountain Film. Her latest book Mountaineering Women was released in September 2025.
