David Mauro took up mountain climbing at the age of 44. For the next seven years, he trudged across glaciers, frozen wastelands and through dense, dangerous forests. He communed with penguins and elephants, kept company with cannibals and gunrunners, and spoke with the dead. He ended up joining history's courageous few when he ascended into the clouds to stand at the summit of Mt Everest at age 50. His #1 bestseller, The Altitude Journals, chronicles these adventures and the lessons they provided for his personal challenges back home. David will read from his book while mixing in stunning photos, GoPro footage, and lively audience interaction. Time will be allotted for Q & A, as well as book signing so bring your copy or purchase one at the event.
