Tuesday 1 November 8 pm Lecture Royal Oak Ockbrook

Brian was at the forefront of British and Himalayan mountaineering in the 1970s
and 1980s. A generation of radical young climbers emerged, with tiny budgets
and high ambitions they pioneered light and fast Alpine-style expeditions on
great peaks including Everest, K2, Jannu, and Nuptse.

Brian’s book, High Risk: Climbing to Extinction recalls eleven of
his climbing friends who risked, and too often lost,
their lives to stand on the top of the world’s highest
peaks at a turning point in mountaineering history.
The book takes the reader back to a different era,
through the voices of those who can no longer speak.
Admission £3.00 Oreads £5.00 non members.
