Join REI & Guest Author Isabel Suppe for 'Starry Sky' a motivational presentation based on her book.

Isabel will be visiting us while cycling from coast to coast to raise funds for her next highly complicated surgery on the foot she shattered in the accident.

 Her story is a tale of survival, passion, and overcoming adversity. In July 2010, Isabel was climbing an ice-face in the Bolivian Andes with Peter Wiesenekker. But then Peter slipped, causing both climbers to fall 1100 ft to the bottom of the face. Both of them miraculously survived the fall but were severely injured. However, at 16000 ft above sea level in an inaccessible mountain with extremely low temperatures and no means of communication, a broken foot with an important loss of blood is equivalent to a death sentence. Seeing that Peter was in no conditions to go and seek help, Isabel understood that their only chance to live lay in her trying to cross the glaciar dragging herself over the ice so as to send SOS light signals to base camp. She decided to make her bet on life and spent two days dragging herself over the glaciar. Want to find out more? Then join us for an inspiring night!
