Everest Slideshow in Avon

Post by jbchalk »

Hey everyone,

My wife, Kristine, and I will be giving a slideshow on our spring 2010 Everest climb tomorrow night (Thursday, August 26) at the Avon library at 6pm. Please see flyer below. If you live in or around the Vail Valley, we'd love to see you as it would be fun to meet a few of you 14ers.com members. Also, pass this along to anyone you may know that may be interested in attending. We're going to have a few select Everest pics of ours framed and for sale as well.

Thanks!
Brandon

Wish I lived a little closer so I could make it. Will you be doing any closer to the Front Range?

Nice, let me know if you need any help finding somewhere. I'm sure there's a few REI's or somewhere at CSU we could line up...

We had a great turnout for this - was a fun evening. I will let everyone now when & where we are able to give another presentation.

I see some of your pictures on display at the Avon library now, pretty nice! Will there be another presentation by any chance?
(I realize this thread is almost a year old.)

This week appears to be the big annual summit on Everest.
One of the Sherpas did his 21st summit May 10.

Yep, Kristine and I have some of our favorites on display at the Avon Library...glad you checked them out! I am hoping we'll be able to do another presentation perhaps this summer either again in Avon or Vail. I will keep people posted.

The big Everest push is on full swing this week. There were several summits last week (1st rope fixing sherpa party plus Adrian Ballinger, Kenton Cool's team, etc). I know our own Alan Arnette is looking for a later May summit window (I believe he juts got back to basecamp after a Camp 3 rotation). All my best to him...I have a good feeling that he will be successful this time. Also, my good buddy Mike Horst (AAI) and his client will hopefully be going for summit in a few days. An exciting time for sure albeit a bit stressful no doubt.

Cool, I'll be in Avon all summer, so maybe I'll be able to check out your presentation. Thanks!
