May 2019 Meeting

We will meet on Wednesday evening May 15th (not our usual Tuesday meeting time) at the business center of the company Emerge at 7 pm.  Hope you will reserve that date.  This is a relatively new location graciously provided by Leo Linder.   No need to respond if you will be attending --  just show up.  There is no admittance fee.  Refer to link below for Google map.

Bob Loce will be sharing his Andean climbs in Ecuador, South America.  These climbs include:  Pasochoa, Roku Pichincha, Cayambe and Cotopaxi.  Bob is a patent technical specialist at Datto and a former research fellow at Xerox and PARC.  He does most of his mountaineering locally in the Adirondacks (in the wintertime), and occasionally heads off to climb the big ones.  Within hours of Quito there are multiple opportunities for acclimatization climbs, such as Cayambe and Cotopaxi.  He will discuss his climbs and experiences with using local guides.
