Welcome to the next Alpine Club Peak District winter lecture of the season.
In this lecture, Tom charts a progression from the sea cliffs of the UK to climbing an ~8000 metre mountain in alpine style: a culmination of a 10-year dream.
‘A Journey to The Top. Through adventurous stories and vivid images, Tom describes his realisation of a multi-year idea: to climb a new route on one of the world’s highest mountains.’
Tom has been described by Sir Chris Bonnington as: “One of the finest climbers in the world, always using the purest techniques.’
