erden Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Wayne Wallace is an accomplished Seattle climber with many significant ascents to his credit. Wayne recently soloed the mile-long Mongo Ridge, rising over 4000 ft to the summit of West Fury. His five-day effort followed two summers of first ascents in the Pickets Range of the North Cascades. Erden Eruc is an extreme traveler, on target for a human powered circumnavigation of the globe. His task includes climbing the highest summits on six different continents along the way as a tribute to a fallen friend. In 2003, he bicycled roundtrip to Denali from Seattle, walked into the base camp with his friends, and reached the first summit in the Six Summits Project. Between Jan 29 and May 5, 2006, Erden rowed solo across the Atlantic Ocean. He is now preparing to row solo across the Pacific from San Francisco to reach Kosciuszko in Australia. These two Seattleites will explore the common ground in their solo pursuits, and will share the highlights of their respective journeys. We hope that you can join us. Wayne & Erden.

erden Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Please keep an eye on the King5 Evening Magazine program on Wednesday. They will have footage and an interview about my recent Atlantic crossing -- 7pm on King5, 9pm on NWCN, on Jan 31. My boat is on display at the Seattle Boat Show where I will hold a presentation on Wednesday evening the 31st at 6:15, and on Saturday evening the 3rd at 7:15, if you cannot make the Feb 8 event later. Of course, on March 10 you can come visit the booth at the Bicycle Expo, and see another presentation there at 4:30pm. We may have the boat there too, waiting for a confirmation. Best. Erden.

erden Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Actually he is very kind and very personable. It is amazing to see him tune out all the human traffic around, and focus on the message that he needs to deliver. He hardly rehearses the content, just practices a little of it, then off he goes with the delivery. He did that more than once while we were filming at the show. A true professional at what he does. He is also an ironman triathlete - it takes a huge commitment to carry out that kind of training! And his last name is spelled: Curley. Erden.
