Everest Presentation Friday 7pm

Friends, (and non-friends too!)

Many people have asked me about an Everest show – it’s this Friday 7pm at the Mazamas. It’s a fundraiser for the Mazamas Expedition Committee, so they’re asking $5/7 members/nonmembers. I can attest it’s going to a very good cause – it was help from them that helped get me started on expeditions.

Since I can’t of course describe what it’s like to stand on the summit of Everest (hmff! Probably overrated :) I hope to impart a sense of what going to Everest and spending two months at base camp, and climbing amidst the circus, is like. I'll have tall tales, big lies, and daring deeds with which to regale you, plus lots of video. I gathered over 10,000 photos from our team, only the top few percent were used in the show, including many pictures up to the summit.

Since many of you won't be able to make the show, I've put some of the better photos up on Picasa http://picasaweb.google.com/montys61361/Everest2008#

Hope to see you there!
