sobo Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Dee Molenaar... a real class act. You guys over there should go see that.
tread_tramp Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 It was certainly a pleasure to see Dee's presentation of this film. He had prepared the maps used on the 53 expedition of which he was a member. And he has done a lot of the documentation of the climb with photos he took and paintings he has done both on the climb and since. While introducing the film Dee showed a lot of his own slides and gave an informative and entertaining history of the climbs particularly the 53 climb which he paticipated in. Which is, of course, the climb on which Pete Shoening did the famouse "Belay". And Houston's film was quite well done for the time in which it was filmed. It was an evening well spent.
