FMCBC will host accomplished mountaineer Sandy Allan in Vancouver
This April, the FMCBC will be hosting a presentation by Sandy Allan, Scottish mountaineer and author of the 2015 book In Some Lost Place: The first ascent of Nanga Parbat’s Mazeno Ridge (which received a glowing review by Mike Nash in the FMCBC Fall/Winter edition of Cloudburst).
Sandy will speak about his experiences climbing what was previously widely regarded as 'the last great climb' of the Himalaya—the giant Mazeno Ridge on Nanga Parbat, the world’s ninth highest mountain. His team’s ascent took 18 days, the last four of which were endured without food and water. Come listen to Sandy describe his epic journey to the top and to find out what’s next for this storied climber.
Please attend on Tuesday, April 5th at Langara College, room A136a.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the presentation will start at 7:30.
Admission is by donation, with a suggested donation of $5.
Hope to see you there!
