Our popular AM Coffee Talk programs are an opportunity where we invite Ice Fest participants to come in and start their day with a delicious cup of coffee, at Gallery Coffee Company, and learn about hot topics and current issues in the climbing world. All of our presentations start at 8AM & 9AM and are finished by 9:45AM just in time for climbers to head on out to the ice!

Today we feature the Honnold Foundation

Thursday 9 AM – Honnold Foundation

Around the world, historically marginalized communities experience the worst impacts of climate change. In this coffee chat, learn how the Honnold Foundation (HF) is empowering grassroots nonprofits around the world to build a clean energy future — on their terms. Honnold Foundation Communications Manager Peter Walle will share a summary of HF’s work, show a recently released short film from a major solar-powered conservation win championed by Indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and end with Q&A.
