Take a journey from the yacht clubs of America and the salons
of Europe to the most forbidding landscape on Earth. In 1939, Dudley Francis Wolfe set out to become the first man to climb K2, the world’s second highest mountain. Wolfe, along with a team leader, reached a point higher than any other climbers, but he failed on descent at 25,000 feet. Sixty-three years later, Jennifer Jordan discovered his skeletal remains. Hear how a well-heeled man untested by adversity nearly succeeded where no one else had before. Book signing to follow.
Seating is limited. Passes are available in the Museum lobby beginning
at 5:45 p.m. on October 1.
