The frustrating thing about becoming a legend is that it has to be in your own time. Otherwise, it does you no good - and you, as a legendarily talented person, deserve some accolades, dammit!  Come watch and listen to Tom Hornbein discuss the greatest Himalayan climb in American mountaineering history. The film High and Hallowed: Everest 1963 tells the story of Willi Unsoeld and Tom Hornbein's pioneering ascent of the West Ridge of Mt. Everest, and examines the risk and adventure that drew them to the summit. Filmmakers David Morton, Jake Norton and Jim Aikman will join Hornbein onstage after the film to discuss the film with the audience. Discover how Unsoeld and Hornbein conquered the mountain. Afterward, you can laugh at your parents when they ridicule your obsessive pursuit of Being Someone.

HIGH AND HALLOWED: EVEREST 1963, 7 p.m., Washington Center, 512 Washington St., Olympia, free admission, 360.867.6000
