Wednesday 28 September 2016

Over the last two decades I have led numerous skiing and climbing expeditions to Antarctica, culminating in the ascents of almost 90 mountains, (34 of them virgin), and over 700 days of skiing. In this talk I will describe some of my more memorable and favourite ascents and descents and the journeys involved in reaching these remote mountains
