The_North_Face Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Greg Child has written six books and many magazine articles, and he's a veteran of 14 Himalayan expeditions. Everest, K2, Shipton Spire and Trango Tower are just a few of the peaks he's climbed. On his tour for The North Face he'll present "High Adventures," a slide show that takes in an oxygenless ascent of K2, huge rock climbs and near misses to avalanche in Pakistan, and a visit to the recently war-torn towers of Kyrgyzstan. His most recent book, "Over the Edge," will be available at the show. Space is limited and we expect a capacity crowd! Please arrive very early to assure yourself a seat. Greg will also be signing books after the show. Hope to see you there! Greg Child-High Adventures 7 PM, Monday, August 26 Cost is free! Light refreshments will be available.

jon Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 So did anyone make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Yeah, it was pretty good. He showed slides from K2, Trango Tower, and a trip to the Ak-su/Kara-su region (where Tommy Caldwell et al. got shot at a while later). The best part was the photos of a small-building-sized flake breaking off Trango Tower as Greg and partner sat at a belay a few hundred feet away. Always wear your helmet! Apparently, camels are more fearsome than even the notorious . At least :snaffle:s don't vomit on you while kicking your shins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
