The_North_Face Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Come spend an evening with TNF athlete Conrad Anker on Monday, March 24th at 7:00pm How has exploration changed in the past 100 years? From the early explorers who visited distant lands in hopes of increasing the dominion of their nation to the current quest for exploration what are the underlying differences of exploration. With a view to the future, what type of expeditions will people exploration is queried in the general sense as to what it provides to society. Travel to Pakistan's Karakoram Mountains during Conrad Anker's slide show "Exploration in the 20th Century". The show will focus on a recent expedition to climb the unclimbed south face of K7 with Jimmy Chin and Brady Robinson. Their route would involve over 8000 vertical feet of climbing. The epic climb remains unfinished as the team was stormed off after 16 days on the route. Conrad will talk about the climb, but also provide insight into the travel, culture and people of this rugged and remote region of the planet. The presentation is also illustrated with images from Alaska, the Himalaya, Yosemite and Antarctica. The presentation takes @ 45 minutes and is open for questions and answers afterwards. This show is free and refreshments will be served. The show will be held at our downtown Seattle store and seating will be limited so please call to reserve a seat. Monday, March 24th, 7pm The North Face 1023 1st Ave (@ Spring Street) Seattle 206.622.4111 Hope to see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambone Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Ran into Conrad Anker ice climbing in Bozeman. He was the least friendly climber that I've ever run into. Too cool to chat with us pee-ons I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have decided to ease up a bit on pay to enter shows but request that they ask to clear it with us first. I did end up apologizing to the Mazamas guy, hopefully that won't tarnish my asshole status too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Jon - Glad to hear you eased up on the Mazamas guy. I think its a mistake to let TNF post slide shows here b/c they rape us of cash and can then afford to have Anker give a slide show whereas the Mazamas are scraping to get by and need to charge for us to see Ed Webster or Kurt Diemberger ... both way more interesting than hearing another damn talk on the search for Mallory ... give that shit up already and let's talk about climbing.

With TNF, the show is free and the refreshments are free. You don't have to buy anything from them. You can only choose to. Rape? I don't think so. If you feel like getting down on all fours, that's your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm imagining now: Yeah hi Conrad I have all your photos pasted on my wall and I loved alex lowe so much I'd like to be doing his wife too Can I have your autograph and annoy you some more? How do you climb dem big mtns so well? I aspire to be like you. Did you figure 4 on that move and how do you REALLY like Koflach boots?

cracked Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 It must suck to be a well-know climber. I'd hate to be Beckey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he resents it when people are asking him dumb ass questions and telling him how much they love him. I think he'd rather people say - Hey party at 7pm LOTSA GIRLS and bonfire near the campground. See you there.. Ya need a ride? I'll buy the first round and bring a couple dames for ya. Then we wake up at 8 am and climb a route you've never done before (do your research ).. BTW how's the college football tournaments going to turn out next year? Man what do you think of the QB from WA state? Things not so ask\say- Page 78 of your guidebook on topo 22 you said it was run out.. What does that mean? Did you use aid on pitch 22 of mt whateverit is during the first climb? HOw old are you? How many 1st ascents do you have? You are my hero (unless your some little kid).

No problem hearing you say "Fred theres hot girls at this party" but when you ask about the unclimbed wall on the north face of Horsecock Spire, "WHAT HUH?????"
