Jan. 17: An Evening in AfricaAn Evening in Africa
Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2007
7:30 p.m. at The Mountaineers Building, 300 Third Ave W, Seattle
Join Mountain Madness co-founder Wes Krause on Kilimanjaro and in the Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater.
Wes began his love of the outdoors in the rock & ice climbing community of the Western United States in the 70s. He then graduated on to high altitude climbing in Alaska and the Himalayas. He was co-leader with Scott Fischer for the 1987 American Everest North Face Expedition. Wes eventually moved to East Africa where he worked for several years as the Director of the NOLS in Kenya. During this time he and Scott Fischer made the second successful climb of the Breach Icicle on Kilimanjaro. Along with Scott, he pioneered the Shira Plateau route up Kilimanjaro, the route led by Mountain Madness, and has also developed new walking safaris. Join Wes as he reminisces about past adventures and exciting new ones waiting for you!
