Mountaineer Legends Conrad Anker And Jimmy Chin Speak March 27 At MSU

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, March 3, for a March 27 lecture at Montana State University by legendary mountaineers Conrad Anker and Jimmy Chin.

The world-famous mountaineering team will speak about their successes, challenges and hardships at 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 27, in MSU’s SUB Ballrooms. A Q&A will follow the lecture. All proceeds from tickets sale will benefit the Khumbu Climbing Center, a center that trains Sherpas in Nepal.

"We are ecstatic to have two world-renowned mountaineers, both featured in National Geographic and Outside Magazines, share their stories, including the tough stuff that has made them leaders," said Carmen McSpadden, director of the MSU Leadership Institute, which is sponsoring the event. "To have both men under one roof is an incredible opportunity for our community and best of all, the Khumbu Climbing Center benefits from every ticket purchased."
