Gary_Yngve Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 About 5-10 people emailed me today saying they can't make it, so we have some more spots open for folks to see Hans. He'll be talking about his <3 hr ascent of El Cap and his trip of climbing all of California's 14ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_W Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I thought this was a very good show. Too bad that there were only about 40-50 in attendance. Hans is an amazing man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I don't know the numbers, but I'm pretty sure it was more like 70. The room seats 130. A lot more people must have cancelled than had emailed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
