Mountain Joy

In the 1960s, a charismatic outdoorsman named Dave Farney launched a Colorado mountaineering school with his wife Sherry that would inspire over 1,000 adventurers to seek out their limits. The Farnys took young students on challenging outings over five-week periods, fostering some of the best mountaineers, skiers and climbers of the era. Ultimately, the Farny family ended up learning — as much as the boys did — about the mountain joy to be found through camaraderie, hard work and adventure in the Rockies.
