ED VIESTURS at Town Hall Seattle

10/26/2009 7:30 pm
Almost three years to the date since we last presented him to a large Town Hall audience, renowned Bainbridge Island mountain climber and author Ed Viesturs is here again with a much-anticipated new chronicle, K2: Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain (Broadway). K2 is the world's second highest mountain. Considered much deadlier than Everest, it has claimed the lives of 77 climbers since 1954—including eleven who died in a single thirty-six-hour period in 2008. K2 features in-depth portrayals of seven ascents—ranging from Ed Viesturs' own 1992 climb, which almost got him and Scott Fischer killed—on up through 2008's tragedy. This should be a thoroughly engaging evening, definitely a peak experience as these evenings go. $5 tickets are available at Elliot Bay or via www.brownpapertickets.com starting September 26.
