Tenzing's Son Lecturing In The UK - Win Tickets

There's a unique opportunity to see Sherpa Tenzing Norgay's son Jamling Norgay in the UK this month as he presents a a series of lectures sponsored by Mountain Hardwear and Cotswold Outdoor.

What's more, we have a pair of tickets for each event to give away to a lucky OUTDOORSmagic reader in an easy to enter draw - details below.

Jamling Norgay wrote the acclaimed book 'Touching My Father's Soul' which is an account of his participation as climbing leader in the 1996 IMAX Everest expedition during which he reached the summit of the mountain and, in particular, the significance of the ascent for him in the light of his father's achievements.

Born 13 years after his father became the first man to stand on the summit of Mount Everest, Everest, remarkably, was his first major high altitude ascent, though he says that he felt, from an early age, that he was destined to climb the mountain. He also says that his Sherpa ancestry meant that he was confident that he'd be able to cope with the physiological demands of the extreme altitude.

All in all, it's a fantastic chance to hear a unique Sherpa perspective on Everest, so don't miss out.
