WE'RE IN FOR A TREAT! Friday, Nov 7, 7 p.m., Resilience Center
The latest event in the STCHS monthly speakers' program will be a presentation by Ken Yager from Mariposa. A well-known climber in Yosemite (with more than 60 ascents of El Capitan), Ken will share his unique perspective on Yosemite, the early days of climbing in the Park, Sierra nature, and our responsibility to help keep it for future generations. He was key in founding the Yosemite Climbing Museum and Yosemite Facelift (a clean-up campaign also brought to Groveland this fall). A 2014 winner of the Brower Conservation Award, Ken is certain to be an entertaining, informative and inspirational speaker.
