“What is an Arc’teryx Academy?” For Tim Harty Senior Manager, Brand Experience EMEA, the 6th edition in the Lake District captured exactly what an Arc'teryx Academy is all about. Across 3 days in the Langdale Valley, a record number of attendees came together to experience climbing education, culture & community through clinics, films, talks, workshops, exhibitions and music. “The 6th Edition of the Lake District Academy was our most memorable to date. As an event, it's truly a by-product of the passion within the UK climbing community. Professional athletes, guides, ambassadors, artists, photographers, community groups and climbers of all levels learning from one another, sharing stories, getting inspired and creating connections to last a lifetime. It's an event designed by, and for, the community, with climb ambassador Katy Whittaker and International School of Mountaineering Director Adrian Nelhams, at the forefront of the organisation. That collective energy and knowledge transfer within the community is what makes the experience so unique.” Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped shape this year’s Academy, we can't wait for next year. 📸: Joe Hart, Sam Pratt, Lena Drapella
