selkirk Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 If you can sneak into a med school lecture at UW, Tom Hornbein give's a hell of a talk on altitude illness and his climb of the West Ridge of Everest! Talk about incredible pictures. Quote
kcclimber3 Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 any chance on getting an audio copy of the speech at REI? Quote

Talk about incredible pictures. I've been to this one three years running now... it's quite good particularly his talk about his West Ridge climb on Everest. Hard to beat his photos. Whether he continues to do the lecture is a year-to-year decision now as he's moved off to Colorado and isn't teaching as part of the larger course like he used to. Quote
