AN INAUGURAL LECTURE SERIES

Portland is home to modern-day adventurers that would make Shackleton envious and Sir Edmund Hilary blush. Surfers, climbers, whitewater kayakers, guys who have walked north to south across Africa and gals who lead trips to Rwanda and Cambodia. We are excited to host an inaugural lecture series that presents some of these curious men and women, talking about their adventures, opening up the frontiers of imagination and hopefully inspiring others to jump into their own adventures. Each evening presents a locally-produced adventure film and a local adventurer presenting an engaging, multi-media presentation about his or her experiences.

April 10: Shane Von Schlemp, long-distance hiker
A computer engineer, Von Schlemp took off on a pioneering trek across the newly charted Oregon Desert Trail, a grueling and lonely 800 mile trek that snakes throughout the high desert of eastern Oregon.

April 17: Peter Frick-Wright, radio producer; and, Ila Asplund, Half Sky Journeys
A radio producer and journalist, Frick-Wright recently launched The Outside Podcast and also presents his currently-on-stands article in Outside about an extraordinary recent trip to ethnically-divided Burundi, and “the world’s most dangerous running club.” Joined by Ila Asplund, showing footage from her recent journey to Rwanda.

May 15: Joe Kurmaskie, adventure cyclist
Six-time author, Kurmaskie is also known as the Metal Cowboy for his cycling adventures that include being chased by elephants in Zimbabwe and racing up Mt Hood in a July snowstorm. Presenting his latest book, A Guide To Falling Down.

May 22: Julian Smith, journalist
Selections from his memoir, Crossing the Heart of Africa

Hosted at Shout House, 210 SE Madison (under the Hawthorne Bridge), all presentations begin at 5 pm. Admission is free. Events are sponsored by Base Camp Brewing Company.
