Patagonia/Jeremy Collins Slideshow

          

My friend Jeremy Collins, whose illustration graces the banner on this blog (and the cover of my book), just returned from a three-week climbing adventure in South America. Jeremy traveled to Patagonia with his brother, and there met up with the North Face climbing team and a film crew from National Geographic (they were there filming someone else, but I think Jeremy got some time in with them). He was there to attempt an ascent of Mount Fitz Roy, to establish a new route on a smaller peak, and to draw every day that he wasn't climbing. What a trip.

If you are interested in hearing about the trip and seeing a slide show, Jeremy will be giving a presentation tomorrow night (Tuesday, April 7) at 8:00 p.m. at the North Face store on the Plaza in Kansas City. As this is Holy Week, we will be hosting the final Lenten Table on Lent at the same time, and so I will not be able to attend. However, Jeremy has said that he would be willing to do the same presentation at JW at a later date. If you can make his talk, I'd highly recommend it.

Here is a short video from his time in South America. Breath-taking. Read a couple of posts from his trip on his blog: here and here.
