Presentation:

The Lost Cache Intro and Q&A

Big-mountain skier, filmmaker, and expedition leader Griffin Post and professional snowboarder and adventurer Robin Van Gyn join VIMFF to introduce The Lost Cache, the story of their extraordinary quest to solve an 85-year-old mountain mystery.

In 1937, legendary mountaineer and photographer Bradford Washburn was forced to abandon a cache of camera and climbing equipment deep on the Walsh Glacier in the Yukon after making the first ascent of Mount Lucania. More than eight decades later, the question remained: could it still be out there?

What followed was a multi-year search bringing together skiers, scientists and explorers to track the movement of a glacier and hunt for a piece of mountaineering history. Part expedition, part treasure hunt, and part exploration of obsession and curiosity, The Lost Cache asks why some unanswered questions refuse to let us go.

Following the film, Griffin and Robin will join us for a Q&A about the expedition, the discovery, and the remarkable story behind the film.
