Tami Knight: Squamish Climbing through 40+ years of cartoons.

Step into the late ’70’s and early 80’s of Squamish climbing with Tami Knight, a climber, cartoonist, and storyteller who’s been noodlin’ about the climbing world for decades. Starting her journey in Squamish in 1977, Tami was one of a group of climbers who picked the low hanging fruit of first ascents. It was a time before cel phones and the internet when guidebooks were printed on paper and climbers camped for free on Psyche ledge, having a whompin’ great fire with, to quote Squamish legend, Daryl Hatten, “beer loads, pipe loads and any kind of loads at all.

Tami has a new book out, Secret Plans: Vol. III, a compilation of toons from the past forty plus years. In this VIMFF presentation, Tami will explore her time climbing at Squamish through stories both sweet and salty, some of which might may even make you laff!

Speaker

Climber & Cartoonist

In 1981, Tami began capturing the quirks and triumphs, ratty nature and hilarity of climbing culture in cartoons, a creative passion that led first to two comic books, Lies and Slander from the Coast Range, Volumes 1 and 2, and then five more books of cartoons. Her cheeky illustrations, featured in Climbing Magazine from 1994 to 2004 and Alpinist Magazine from 2002 to now , have earned her recognition as a voice that both celebrates and pokes fun at the climbing world.
