On Thursday, July 26th, 8:00 PM at Boulders Climbing Gym (3964 Commercial Ave, Madison, WI 53714) Dawn will be presenting: Montenegro Rock Climbing Adventures
In October of 2010 Dawn Glanc and two other American climbers traveled to Montenegro, a small country in Southeastern Europe to climb. The name Montenegro literally translates to "black mountain" which is very descriptive of the country that is bordered by the Adriatic Sea to the southwest, but has only a very narrow coastal plain (only one to four miles wide) before hitting the various ranges, considered by some to be the most rugged terrain in Europe. Dawn and her companions were the first American party to climb in Montenegro and were accompanied by a local team of eight climbers. The local climbers' knowledge and experience helped the team put up multiple first ascents.
Dawn will be presenting a slide show that tells the story of this expedition between two cultures that was made successful through a genuine shared love of rock climbing.
