Ed Viesturs Book Tour


I've mentioned Ed Viesturs a number of times in my blog. He's arguably the greatest American mountaineer ever, and the first to summit all 14 8000 meter peaks. On October 17th he'll be releasing his book No Shortcuts To The Top and follow it up shortly there after with a book signing tour. So, if you want to meet Ed, and possibly get a book signed, here's your chance. He'll be appearing at the following places:

Oct. 18 - New York City - Barnes and Noble in Union Square (7 PM)
Oct. 19 - Washington, DC - Olsson's Books & Records (2111 Wilson Boulevard - 7 PM)
