If you're tired of hearing about the same peaks you have climbed or plan to climb, don't miss the next HAMS program on November 19th. George McLeod will show slides and discuss his adventures during eight years as base commander of a British Antarctic survey expedition which studied the geology, biology and meteorology of the remote continent, while mapping over 1,000 miles in the area between Hope Bay and Fossil Bluffs. Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about travel, survival and exploration in this harsh and beautiful environment, that constitutes one of the world's last frontiers, and now is threatened by global pollution and the energy requirements of the world's expanding population base. Program time is 7 p.m. at the clubhouse. Our annual autumn social event will be a side night party at Keith Jensen's house.
Plans are for a potluck dinner followed by slides of member's trips.
Count on having a good time networking with your fellow climbers. Guests are welcome. Keith Jensen's house. Thor Kieser, leader of the trip, spent seven weeks researching treks and climbs in Pakistan last summer. The ascent will take two weeks from Base Camp via the Northwest Ridge.
