Simon Yates, one of the world’s most famous and accomplished mountaineers, brings his lecture and slideshow ‘Beyond the Void’ to the Platform on Friday February 13.
Simon first became known as ‘The Man Who Cut The Rope’ holding Joe Simpson during a disastrous descent from Peru’s Siula Grande in 1985, a story immortalised in the film ‘Touching The Void’.
Twenty years on, Simon is one of the most successful mountaineers of his time and is touring the UK with his entertaining and inspiring lecture. His dry wit, philosophical approach and stunning images transport his audience to some of the highest and most treacherous peaks in the world, giving a real insight into the mountain environment and the extreme mental and physical challenge of climbing.
Simon describes his show as ‘amazing tales from an incredible life lived to the full’ and hopes it will give audience a true taste of his experiences during his lifetime of adventure.
The show will start at 7.30pm and tickets cost £13 from the Box Office on 01524 582803.
