Kate Rutherford's Meter of Misery Slideshow On Monday, October 11th, Kate Rutherford will be giving a slide show on her recent expedition to Greenland. The Washington native headed to the Tasermuit Fiord in Greenland with Canadian climber Jasmin Caton for two and a half weeks. They climbed two enormous granite formations- Ulamatorsuaq and Nalumasortoq. After being sandbagged by Czech climbers, finding the war in the 5.12 sections of Nalumasortoq's War and Poetry, and climbing over 1500 meters, Rutherford discovered a meter of misery.

Rutherford will be detailing her epic as well as her first all female team ascent of Yosemite's El Capitan, her recent trip to Venezuela, and her life on the road as a full time climber and part time jeweler.

Hosted by the Stanford Alpine club, the free slideshow will be 7:30 pm at the at Stanford's Clark Auditorium
