Brian Hall joins us on the Saturday evening of our Expedition Event to recall the outrageous adventures of eleven of his climbing friends who risked, and too often lost, their lives to stand on some of the world’s highest peaks at a turning point in mountaineering history. The golden age of Himalayan mountaineering, from the mid-1970s to the ‘80s, brought forth a generation of radical young climbers. With tiny budgets and high ambitions, they pioneered small-scale, Alpine-style expeditions on mountains such as Jannu, Nuptse, Everest, and K2.
