National Geographic’s Mark Jenkins returns to NWC
The mountains surrounding St. Catherine’s Monastery—with their enormous granite domes—are unique. It’s an undiscovered little Yosemite. In November 2017, National Geographic writer Mark Jenkins led a four-man team of highly accomplished Wyoming climbers to ascend these 1000-foot walls of pink granite. “Camels, Climbing and St. Catherine: An Expedition to Egypt” is a presentation about an epic expedition to climb big rocks in a remote land, about Christian monks and Bedouin nomads, and about a place where tolerance is more powerful than terrorism. This presentation is part of the UW Center for Global Studies’ “World to Wyoming” Series.
