Cary Memorial Library invites you on a journey to the beautiful and mysterious land of Tibet. There you will join experienced mountain climber, author, photographer, and Lexington native Ed Webster, who will describe how he and three companions attempted “the impossible:” to scale a new route up the East or Kangshung Face of Mt. Everest.
Reinhold Messner, often cited as the greatest mountain climber of all time, called their route “too dangerous.” Adding to the danger, they did it the hard way: with no sherpa support, no bottled oxygen, and no radios. In his own words, and illustrated by a stunning slide show, Ed Webster will share his deeply personal account of this triumphant achievement.

Mr. Webster's first program at Cary Library was held in August 2010, and was so popular that the Library's Meeting Room could not accommodate all the people who wished to attend. The Library is pleased to welcome Ed Webster back to Lexington, and this time there will be plenty of seats for everyone! Please note the location: Mr Webster will be speaking at Cary Hall, 1605 Massachusetts Avenue (next to the Police Station). No tickets needed.
