Peak_Freak Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hey Portland crew!!! Mark Wednesday January 20th on your calendar. Don Bowie, will be presenting a multimedia show on his successful climbing expedition to K2. On July 4th, 2007, he became the 4th Canadian to summit K2, and did so without the use of supplemental oxygen. He has fantastic images, video clips, and stories of the dramatic ascent and tragic descent on what some call, "The Savage Mountain." Portland Show: Wednesday January 20, 2010 Bagdad Theatre and Pub 3702 S.E. Hawthorne Boulevard Doors: 6:00 p.m. Show: 7:00 p.m. Tickets: $15 http://www.mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=9&id=1117&eventid=78498 He did a sold out show in Vancouver, BC and it got rave reviews from everyone in the climbing and adventure communities here.

stevetimetravlr Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Summiting K2 without oxygen. Burly endeavor or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak_Freak Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yes... burly endeavor indeed! He's got great stories! For example... at one point, his two partners were pushing forward on their originally intended route, and they each fell into different crevasses with the rope holding both of them up, but leaving no one on top to set up an anchor. Good times!!!! FYI, if you do get to go, in order to secure the venue, Don had to commit to a minimum food and beverage amount, so please, bring all your friends and order lots of food and beer inside the theater ;-). Doors open at 6:00 so you'll get a better seat too. Any help spreading the word is appreciated. Cheers, Eileen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
