Author Visit: Mountaineer Jim Davidson
Join author and mountaineer Jim Davidson for a discussion of his new book The Next Everest on Thursday, August 26, 2021 at 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. on the Library's Facebook Live.
Jim Davidson grew up in Concord, then set off seeking adventure around the world. After 39 years of high-altitude climbing, he has scaled peaks on six continents, including having reached the summit of Mount Everest. Jim was on Everest during the deadliest day ever to hit the mountain. An enormous earthquake rocked the Himalayas, while aftershocks and avalanches trapped Jim and his team high on the mountain. Please join us to hear Jim’s first-hand account of survival and resilience on Mount Everest. We will also stream this event via Facebook Live. Visit our Facebook page to watch it in real time or watch the recording later. Copies of the author's books, The Next Everest and The Ledge, will be available for sale at the Concord Bookshop, payable by cash or check. We plan to hold this event in person with limited seating. Face masks are required to attend the event. If COVID safety guidelines change, we will instead hear the presenter on Zoom.
Please note - Registration for in-person attendance at this event is full. We invite you to watch the talk through Facebook Live.
