BRATTLEBORO Hiking VT's 500 Highest: Spencer Crispe is a 9th generation lifelong Vermonter from West Brattleboro. In an increasingly virtual world that is diving deeper into cyberspace, Spencer promotes turning off the computer, putting down the cell phone and engaging with the outdoors. He is an advocate of the many benefits that come from connecting with nature - optimizing his free time mountain climbing and hiking. Join him as he shares stories and photos from his many adventures in the VT mountains and wilderness, many of which involved navigating to the top of peaks with no trails and few known climbers. 7-8 p.m. In 2020, Spencer finished climbing all 770 mountains in the Northeast above 3,000 ft. in elevation, 8 years after starting on this goal. Recently, he became the first known person from VT to climb VT's 500 highest mountains. Free.
