Please join us at the Gould Barn in Topsfield at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26th for our Annual Meeting! We’ll review the past year at ECTA, announce our slate of officers and directors for the upcoming year and present our plans for 2022 (and beyond).
We’re excited to announce that our guest speaker this year will be Mark Richey of Newburyport. Mark is a world renowned alpinist who has scaled some of the planet’s highest peaks in some of the world’s most remote locations. In August of 2019 Mark Richey, Steve Swenson, Graham Zimmerman, and Chris Wright became the first people to reach the summit of Link Sar, a massive and complex mountain located deep within the Karakorum mountains of Pakistan. At 7041 meters (over 23,100’) Link Sar was among the world’s highest and most elusive unclimbed peaks and had resisted 9 previous attempts over a span of 45 years.Through images and video clips Mark will retell the story of the Link Sar historic first ascent and what has led him to climb and explore the most remote mountains on earth.
Light refreshments will be served beginning at 6:00. Space is limited, so please REGISTER if you are planning to attend. We look forward to seeing you!
