Wednesday, June 13th, 2012, at 8 pm. Come early for snacks and drinks.
Kyle Dempster is a coffee shop owner in Salt Lake city, who purchased his favorite community hangout after surviving a most desperate 24 day solo climb in Pakistan.
He is also a Piolet d'Or winning expedition alpinist. He is well known for some most daring climbs, including Mt. Edgar (which killed Johnny Copp, Micah Dash and Wade Johnson in 2009).
The Caltech Alpine Club, with support from the American Alpine Club southwest section is hosting this event for free (no tickets required); there will be snacks, drinks, good company, and an awesome talk!
This is a free event and will take place Wednesday, June 13th, 2012, at 8 pm in Noyes Building, room 153 on Caltech's campus in Pasadena, CA. There will be drinks,snacks (thanks to American Alpine Club-Southwest Section) and some time to chat with Kyle before the talk beginning 7.30 PM.
For more details and driving directions, please check our website.

This is going to be awesome! I saw Kyle give a slideshow earlier this year at the Ouray Ice Fest which was fantastic. Very excited to see him speak again!

This is tomorrow! Kyle Dempster is one of the leading alpine climbers of our time, and it's pretty awesome that PT managed to get him to come give a talk in Pasadena. Tomorrow night, Caltech (Pasadena), 8pm. Details on the event page. And as with most Caltech Alpine Club talks, it's free--including beer and snacks.

Make sure to ask him how his visa is coming along. He likes that.
