North Face Speaker Series - CONRAD ANKER
Conrad Anker has found fame for trail blazing film and research work on Everest, where he investigated the mystery of the lost 1924 expeditioners, Mallory and Irvine, and climbed the mountain a couple of times, to boot. But never before has he had to dig so deep into his soul to keep going as on a peak in the Indian Himalaya, called Mount Meru. Meru was the ultimate test to Conrad and his partners, as storm and cold battered them throughout their eighteen-day ascent. In the end, teamwork and trust was the key to their survival. Conrad illustrates his gripping tale with photographs and video that captures the adventure of his lifetime.
