We are planning on summitting the highest mountain in the Americas. We will meet in Buenos Aires
two weeks before to catch up and reconnect, finalize our expedition plans, meet with the guides, and
make final preparations. Afterward, assuming a successful ascent, all of us are invited to stay a
week after at Phil’s place in Bariloche (right on the lake and it is beautiful).
2. Kilimanjaro Trek
We will meet in Nairobi, check in on our orphanage projects, and then finalize preparations for the
trek. We will be securing all our supplies locally in Nairobi. Details will be finalized at the next
advisory committee meeting.
Past Trips
1. Mont Blanc
This was a memorable trip, thanks to Lenny who let us crash has his place in Zurich. The Alps are
always a great time.
2. Matterhorn
Most of us on this trip agreed that this was climbing in the best classical sense.
3. Antarctica
This was a life-changing trip for most of us. The Falklands, South Georgia, and then setting foot
on the continent was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The advisory committee is busy planning our
next adventure.
Other Club Events
1. Leadville 100 (not a club event)
Just a reminder to all of you who may be planning to attend this year’s Leadville 100. Please touch
base on the private list-serve to see who from the club is going so we can find a way to meet up
before and after the race.
2. Fall Marathon
The club will hold its private, fall trail marathon November 7th.
3. Fall/Winter Powerlift Meet
We here at the E.H.S. Adventure Club pursue a well-rounded program of fitness. We will be raising
money for our local food pantry charity.
4. Maine Snowshoe Event
Assuming a good winter for snow, we have plans to continue our Maine snowshoeing event (and skiing
at Sugarloaf…of course). Details will be provided.
