CLUB NIGHT 4th July - 7.30pm at Fitzroy Golf Club.Two ‘Polar’ Summits 1998 – 2018
Climbing the highest peaks at the top and bottom of the globe 20 years apart.
Climbing Denali, Alaska (1998) and Vinson, Antarctica (2018) 20 years apart gives an interesting insight into how climbing has changed and hasn’t changed over this time. For sure cold! and altitude! remain unchanged and present very real difficulties and dangers. But have advances with equipment and our physical and mental approach to climbing changed anything?
Join Glen to hear two interesting stories on two epic ‘polar’ peaks.
…… And with ice beginning to form on the maunga ….. A quick history of ice climbing tool design from the 1960’s to today!
