  • October 2019 Meeting

    Aaron Newman on climb on THE BIG ONE, the granddaddy of all, Mt. Everest (from the Nepal side)

    October 2019 Meeting

    We will meet on Tuesday evening October 8th at the business center of the company Emerge at 7 pm.  Hope you will reserve that date.  No need to respond if you will be attending —  just show up.  There is no admittance fee.  Refer to link below for Google map.

    Aaron Newman will be presenting his climb on THE BIG ONE, the granddaddy of all, Mt. Everest (from the Nepal side).  Be sure to catch this! 

    In the spring of 2019, Aaron Newman attempted to climb Everest, the tallest mountain in the world at 29,029. While not the hardest climb out there, it is one of the most coveted and the journey of a lifetime.

    This was the culmination of a decade of progressively climbing higher mountains, starting in the Adirondacks and taking him thru seven continents along the journey. Hear his stories of challenges, suffering, failure, success, and adventure. He will share with us stories including altitude sickness, "jelly belly," rock slides, and lost toes.

    Come to hear how this story ends and what’s next.
