My Mountain Life with Simon Yates
Simon Yates is one of Britain's most celebrated mountaineers, known to many through the gripping account of survival and impossible choices told in Touching the Void. In this illustrated talk at The Acorn in Penzance, he steps back to share the broader arc of a life defined by mountains — the expeditions, the friendships, the risks, and the rewards that come with venturing into some of the world's most remote terrain. Whether you know his name from that famous story or simply love wild places and the people drawn to them, this is an evening for anyone who has ever looked at a distant ridge and felt the pull.
