Book signing and multi-media presentation presented by Jennifer Jordan, author,
The Last Man on the Mountain
$5 at the door and includes Neptune coupon
In 1939 the Savage Mountain claimed its first victims.
Among them was Dudley Francis Wolfe. Born into vast wealth, yet uneasy with
a life of leisure, Wolfe of Boston and Rockport, Maine, set out to become the
first man to climb K2, the world’s second-highest mountain. Although close
to middle age and inexperienced at high altitude, Wolfe and the team leader
made it higher than any other members of the expedition, but he couldn’t
get back down. He was abandoned at nearly 25,000 feet; it would be another sixty-three
years before his skeletal remains would be found by the author, 10,000 feet
below his last known camp. In this story where The Great Gatsby meets Into Thin
Air, Jordan follows Wolfe from the yacht clubs of America and salons of Europe
to the most forbidding landscape on earth. Using never-before-seen photographs
and film footage from the 1939 expedition, Jordan's presentation takes audiences
to a place where oxygen deprivation thickens a climber’s blood to the
consistency of paint, and where, in this case, it also laid bare the ruthlessness
of survival in a place known as the Death Zone. Jennifer Jordan, an award-winning
author, filmmaker, and screenwriter, has twice lived at the base of K2, where
in 2002 she found the hero of this, her second book.
