Becoming a Member
In our penultimate Peak lecture of the season, we welcome Nigel Vardy to tell us his story of an ill-fated climb on Denali in 1999 and a return to the mountain in 2024, 25 years later. Accompanied by a film crew to document the journey, Nigel reconnected with the rangers, medical staff, and air crew who had saved his life and provided treatment. The journey included a flight over the peak, exactly 25 years after the rescue.
Venue: Outside, Main Road, Hathersage, S32 1BB
