Adrian Ballinger talk
Adrian Ballinger, a world-class mountaineer, skier, business leader, and professional speaker who lives in Olympic Valley, will share what it was like to climb Everest without oxygen.
As founder and head guide of the internationally acclaimed Alpenglow Expeditions, Ballinger has helped more than 100 clients successfully summit Everest, Lhotse (the fourth tallest mountain in the world), Manaslu (eighth tallest), and Cho Oyu (sixth tallest).
Last year, Ballinger achieved a lifelong dream of climbing Everest without oxygen—a feat about 200 people have ever achieved. He documented his ascent using Snapchat to provide an “unfiltered” look at the Everest climbing experience in all of its pain and glory.
He will be talking March 14 upstairs at Blue Angel Cafe in South Lake Tahoe. Doors open at 6pm for happy hour, with show at 7pm. Admission is $20 for adults and free for kids under 13. Proceeds go to the Sierra Nevada Avalanche Center.
