What if the very country that claims the Cradle of Humanity is also the new Mecca for climbing? What does it take to find out? In March 2007 four women traveled to northern Ethiopia to climb virgin sandstone towers in a region of the world with an international reputation limited to drought, famine, and war. Majka Burhardt's slideshow incorporates images and stories from this expedition in conjunction with the release of her book, Vertical Ethiopia: Climbing Toward Possibility in the Horn of Africa. Come enjoy an evening of splitter sandstone cracks, international kidnappings, the biggest untapped adventure playground in Africa, and an examination of what it takes to juggle fear, success, and global consciousness in the high desert of Ethiopia. Majka will be book-signing after the show.
