Events March 6-9
Thursday | 6
Come and hear a presentation by Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, an Austrian mountaineer who has climbed all 14 of the 8,000+ meter peaks, from Annapurna to Everest — only the second woman to do so. In addition, she was the first woman climber to climb K2, in the remote Karakoram Range, without supplemental oxygen or porters. She'll share highlights from her career and talk about what it was like to be the first.
When: Thursday, March 6, 7:30 pm
Where: Baker-Baum Concert Hall, 7600 Fay Avenue, La Jolla. theconrad.org

Guitarist Pete Bernhard, upright bassist MorganEve Swain, and guitarist and tenor banjo player Cooper McBean have released seven full-length studio albums and three live recordings. Their latest, Spirits, came out in February. The evening's lineup includes Bridge City Sinners.
