‘Ups and Downs of Herb and Jan Conn’ May 11

South Dakota Public Broadcasting will host free screenings of “The Ups and Downs of Herb and Jan Conn” Wednesday, May 10, at 2 p.m. at West Hills Village, 255 Texas Street in Rapid City, and Thursday, May 11 at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at The Custer Beacon.  

The Conns inspired others in many ways beyond their pioneering work as climbers and cavers. 

“The Ups and Downs of Herb and Jan Conn” documents their ascents and descents, and the exploratory, literary, cartographic, artistic, and musical repertory they created, all of which continue to inspire people with an itch to explore, beneath or above the surface.  

You can also watch it on SDPB1 Thursday, May 18, at 7:30 p.m.
