One of the members of the unsuccessful British Army, Everest West
Ridge team will be lecturing at Ellis Brigham in Covent Garden later
this month.
 Captain
Jonjo Knott will be talking about his participation in this spring's
epic third attempt on one of Everest's hardest routes. In Everest
West Ridge - 3rd Time Lucky he'll tell the story of the climb
ftom the years of planning and innovations in training, to the hard
work on the mountain, climbing on the north face itself, the
successes and ultimately the disappointment when the team were forced
to abandon the route high on the mountains because of avalanche
danger.
The good news is that the event is free, but it's essential to
pre-book a place by e-mail to events@ellis-brigham.com
with the subject line 'Everest Talk'.
The evening takes place on 21 September at Ellis Brigham Mountain
Sports, 3-11 Southampton St, Covent Garden, WC2E 7HA.
