Andy Kirkpatrick Talk 7 December

[Rónán K]

In conjunction with Jackson Sports we're hosting a talk by climber Andy Kirkpatrick on Wednesday 7 December in Lecture Theatre 1, MBC, Lisburn Road.
If you haven't heard of Andy, look at this site:
www.andy-kirkpatrick.com/

(lots of really really good advice on gear etc on that site too)

His books are great, Psychovertical won the Boardman-Tasker and tells of his story of overcoming dyslexia and homelessness to become one of Britain's top climbers, with solo ascents of El Cap and just last week Norway's Troll Wall as well as winter big wall climbing in the Alps and an ascent of the Eiger Nordwand.

He has a new book out (Cold Wars) and this is part of his book tour. He gave a talk at QUB last year and it was excellent. Well worth going to see.

More details on tickets etc to follow.

He was over a couple of years ago and gave a cracking talk, defs worth a look. Really accessible so if you're new to climbing, or want to bring a mate who is a 'normal' it's good banter.
