I'm completely honored and excited to be performing TOMORROW NIGHT at the gorgeous 92nd Street Y theater,
opening up for a presentation by the incredible
Majka Burhardt. Majka (pronounced my-ka) is an amazing writer and climber and will be speaking about her climbing experience in Ethiopia. Please read on to get a glimpse of this presentation, but I will tell you, first hand, that the photographs are breath taking, the cultural and social perspective enlightening, and the overall story-telling captivating.

Vertical Ethiopia: Possibility, Environment, and Adventure in the Horn of Africa.
What if the very country that claims the Cradle of Humanity is also the new Mecca for adventure? Majka Burhardt takes you on a journey to Northern Ethiopia where she led a team of woman to climb desert sandstone towers in an effort to get to know another side of this complex country with an international reputation largely limited to drought, famine, and communism. Her stories and experiences are chronicled in her new book: Vertical Ethiopia: Climbing Toward Possibility in the Horn of Africa. Her presentation examines the interaction between the Ethiopia of the past and the potential of today, with a specific focus on the intersections between history and opportunity, adventure and culture, and environment and growth. Come enjoy an evening of splitter sandstone cracks, international kidnappings, the biggest untapped adventure playground in Africa, and an examination of what it takes to juggle fear, success, and global consciousness in the high desert of Ethiopia.
