The American Himalayan Foundation's Annual Dinner
Thursday, October 17th, 2024 at The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco
The lure of adventure was irresistible for climbers like George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, who disappeared 800 feet short of the summit of Mt. Everest 100 years ago. We may never know whether they were the first to stand on the top of the world, but we will be joined by three individuals helping unravel Everest’s most enduring mystery.
Wade Davis is an explorer, anthropologist, and the author of 23 books, including Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest, whose TED talks have been viewed 8 million times.
New York Times bestselling author and prolific adventurer, Mark Synnott, who “never planned on climbing Mount Everest” but was lured into an expedition by this hundred-year-old mystery.
And acclaimed mountaineer, author (and AHF board member!), Conrad Anker, was part of the search team on Everest that found George Mallory’s body in 1999.
Please save the date and join us for what is sure to be a fascinating evening, to do good in a place that means so much to us all.
