Event Details

Jennifer Loeb is an Iowa native, Wartburg College graduate, and accomplished mountaineer who began climbing in 2010 after years of volunteer work both locally and internationally. She has since summited peaks around the world, including Mt. Everest in 2016, and in 2021 became the first and only woman from Iowa to complete the “7 Summits” by climbing the highest peak on every continent.

Join Jennifer as she shares stories from her Everest expedition, highlights stunning photos and video from the climb, and displays some of the gear she used along the way. She’ll also take time to answer your questions about mountaineering.
