: Outside Magazine presents, Outside University starring climbing superstar
: Timmy O'Neill. Known as the "Urban Ape" for his occasional exploits
: scaling
: city buildings, Timmy O'Neill combines stand up comedy with tales of
: adventure-all wrapped up in a program that leaves audiences motivated to
: get outdoors.

: This hysterical show will chronicle Timmy's spring 2003 adventure to the
: big
: walls of Greenland and feature his latest short film entitled, "Suspended
: Animation." Not enough you say? No problem because Tim has much more in
: store
: for us. You'll also see a new film about climbing Yosemite Valley's El
: Capitan
: with double amputee climber Warren McDonald this past fall and you'll get
: to
: see and hear about Tim's most recent adventure to climb the limestone
: cliffs
: of Cuba...This is going to be one spicy, gnarly show...dont miss it!!!

: Timmy O'Neill's adventurous spirit was fostered in the urban-open spaces
: surrounding his childhood home in Philadelphia. He explored the
: boundaries
: of Fernwood cemetery and along the banks of Cobb's Creek in search of
: excitement- that usually consisted of burned out cars and run-ins with
: the
: cops. At age nineteen, he moved to Yellowstone National Park, beginning a
: seven-year traveling stint through America's pristine wilderness. He soon
: discovered rock climbing in Yosemite National Park and knew that through
: it, he would pursue his dreams. He has been kayaking since age five and
: climbing for the past fifteen years.

: O'Neill is one of the fastest climbers in the world. He has set many
: speed
: records in Yosemite National Park on several of its formations, including
: a
: world record ascent, with Dean Potter, of the famed Nose on El Capitan in
: 3
: hours 24 minutes. That same Yosemite season, O'Neill and Potter became
: the
: first to ever link-up, in a continuous push, three massive Grade VI
: walls,
: climbing over 80 pitches and 9,000 vertical feet, in less than 24 hours.

: During the past several years, Timmy has been exploring the world's great
: mountain ranges, climbing from Pakistan to Patagonia. His most recent
: adventures include climbing massive granite monoliths in Greenland,
: leading
: a 4 day ascent of El Cap with Warren McDonald, a double amputee (above
: the
: knee), and climbing limestone cliffs in Cuba.

: In addition to athletic exploration, O'Neill is been breaking ground with
: film and public speaking. His film "Urban Ape," which features "hilarious
: buildering antics", has won over 5 major Mountain Film Festival awards.
: Timmy continues to work on film projects, and is also receiving acclaim
: for his outrageously funny "climbing slideshows." "O'Neill is the
: smartest,
: funniest presenter out there today," stated Yvon Chouinard, owner of
: Patagonia clothing company. Forget the "gnarly man vs. gnarly mountain" a
: pproach to climbing shows. Prepare yourself for stomach cramps and watery e
: yes as climber, comedian, and "Urban Ape," Timmy O'Neill gives his own
: Monty
: Python inspired approach to a major climbing expedition.

: Timmy's overall message: get outside and discover the freedom, happiness
: and sense of accomplishment outdoor activity can bring,
: no matter what your level.

: Get ready to be inspired and be prepared to laugh.
