Come join the Caltech Alpine Club and the American Alpine Club (Southwest Section) for an evening with Dean Rosnau. Dean will present a program focused around his new book, The Shortest Straw: Search and Rescue in the High Sierra.
November 15th at 7pm
California Institute of Technology
Beckman Auditorium
332 S Michigan Ave, Pasadena, CA 91106
Pizza and beer after the show!
Roy McClenahan, Expert Rock Climber & Mountain Guide says of Dean and his book:
"The Shortest Straw begins with playful and insightful Tom Sawyer-style early chapters, which could have been taken straight from the pages of Boy’s Life. The stage for adventure is set in Dean Rosnau’s rambunctious youth, and the reader is soon launched headlong into a bracing string of first-hand narratives, detailing the risk and challenge of high-mountain search and rescue operations, known as SAR.
In this exhilarating report from the heights of the eastern Sierra Nevada, Dean Rosnau exposes a pathway to life-saving decision, gripping rescue action and volatile emotional challenge, all emerging as part of the daily routine of high-mountain search and rescue: a routine like no other.
Rosnau's faith is as natural as the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the ground upon which he walks. And that ground is some of the most rugged terrain in the world. The Shortest Straw is a must read, eye-opening account for all who dream of high mountain ranges, and for all who have been there.”
