40th Anniversary Lecture

Location: Guildhall Theatre
Running Time: 1 hour 45 minutes - approximate, including any interval(s).
About the event
Autumn 2015 will mark the 40th anniversary of the first ascent of ‘Everest: The Hard Way’, when the late Dougal Haston and Doug Scott made the first ascent of the mountain’s massive South West Face.
In this special lecture Doug will tell of the epic expedition and climb, how his life led up to this defining moment and where it took him upon his return from the summit.
This is a brand new lecture for the anniversary, lavishly illustrated with Doug’s celebrated mountain photography and will provide a very personal account of this legendary first ascent.
