Chris Harle discusses the legacy of Ken Wilson
Wednesday 14 February 2018, 07:30pm - 09:30pm
Wednesday 14 February 2018

Chris Harle investigates the impact of Ken Wilson and his Mountain magazine.  A nostalgic trip back in time when Scott and Haston became the first Brits to summit Everest, Hard Rock was the puerile tick list and racy Edelrid rope adverts were not seen as sexist.
