TNF Lecture Dates This Autumn

There's a whole programme of The North Face-sponsored lectures and masterclasses that we haven't told you about - unfortunately we've missed a few, for which we apologise. Anyway, here's the rest of the programme if you're bored by those dreary pre-winter evenings...

Spanning 25 years of adventures across four continents and 20 expeditions, An Everest Journey is Barry Roberts' story of achieving a dream of climbing Mount Everest. Barry's perspective on his travels is coloured by the many roles he's undertaken on diverse expedition projects as a leader, geographer, builder, climber, diver, management consultant and medic. His expedition career culminated recently when he summited Everest up the North Ridge from Tibet on May 24th 2004. In this same week, 6 climbers from other teams perished in the death zone above 8000m whilst Barry's team put 33 climbers and Sherpas on the top. He talks candidly about life and death in the mountains, successes, failures and near misses. Emotive, informative and honest, Barry's lecture is illustrated by stunning images and video nasties.
