Science With A Twist: African Ascent April 17, 2008

Explore the fascinating journey described in 'Vertical Ethiopia: Climbing Towards Possibility in the Horn of Africa,' which tells the story of how four women traveled to northern Ethiopia to climb virgin sandstone towers in the Horn of Africa. Majka Burhardt, the book's author and leader of the expedition, will share vignettes that reveal what it means to climb, to travel, and to explore, while looking closely at the intersections between adventure and culture, history and opportunity, sky and sandstone.
