olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Sum Equals Zero, Alpine Style on the Rupal Face With Patagonia Ambassador, Steve House Join Steve House as he takes you on a six-day alpine-style ascent of a new route on the worlds biggest wall: Nanga Parbat's Rupal Face. He and Vince Anderson resurected the old alpine philosophies of simplicity and courage to climb the 13,500-foot face in September 2005. With 60 pounds of gear, shelter, food, and clothing between them, they negotiated difficult pitches, poor rock, and epic bivouacs. Their ascent is sure to go down in history as one of the most important climbs ever. Thursday, March 16th HUB Auditorium – 7:30pm $10 with all proceeds donated to Washington Trails Association (www.wta.org), Central Asia Institute (www.ikat.org), and the Baltistan Education Fund. Tickets available at the HUB (206-543-2277), Patagonia Seattle (206-622-9700) and Pro Mountain Sports (206-522-1627) Brought to you by the UW Climbing Club Steve will also give a clinic at Pro Mountain Sports the afternoon the day of the show. Come on by and meet Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekend_Climberz Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Their ascent is sure to go down in history as one of the most important climbs ever. This will also be a good opportunity to congradulate and celebrate his recent Piolet D'or award that was given to him and Vince for their groundbreaking ascent. I've been looking forward to this one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekend_Climberz Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Oh Yeah! Mega Uber! His attempt the prior year on the Rupal followed his successful solo of K-7 only a few weeks before. That would have been a cool linkup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
