- **Event Name**: Jeannette McGill: Journey to Everest
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: ? SOCIAL EVENING | Thursday 19 February ?

The EP Section is privileged to host Jeannette McGill, an experienced international mountaineer and long-standing MCSA member (since 1986).

While visiting her hometown of Port Elizabeth, Jeannette will present an inspiring talk on her decades-long journey to Mount Everest - exploring the decisions, setbacks, discipline, and resilience required along the way. In May 2025, she became the oldest South African woman to summit Everest.

This will not simply be a summit slideshow, but an honest conversation about judgment, persistence, and what the mountains teach over time — a realistic look at reaching the roof of the world in the modern era.

Jeannette is a Collegiate alumna and graduate of Nelson Mandela University (BSc Geology), and now holds a PhD in Economic Geology from Colorado School of Mines. She is currently based in Bright, Victoria, where she combines board roles with continued mountain pursuits across South Africa and Australia.

All members and guests are warmly invited.
