An evening about my recent summit of Nepal's Manaslu at 26,759' (8,156 m). It was a rewarding climb as I started the trek at almost sea level in Western Nepal. I hope you can join and please invite your friends and family. Open to everyone, free and no agenda. Just some climbing talk
Location: Ft. Collins Old Town Library: Community Room 2
Time: 7:00 - 9:00PM
Topics will include:
- my talks with the legend Ms. Elizabeth Hawley
- my talks with Everest legend Russell Brice
- The changing Sherpa Culture
- a quick review of oxygen system used at high altitude

- Helicopters in climbing
For training I climbed 25 of our 14ers from February to August after having knee surgery in late January.

Things are looking like I can make it. El Chupacabra and I are going to hit La Luz for $2 pints before the show if anyone wants to join. We'll keep the beverages to a seminar listening level!

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight. The talk will start a couple minutes past 7 to let people get settled, go for about an hour then time for Q&A and mingling. Feel free to invite your friends and family. I am working to get a venue for a Denver presentation in November.
