3 June Wed 7.30pm Simon Yates at Darlington Civic Theatre,

[phil]

Darlington Civic Theatre are privileged to welcome Simon Yates to talk about his Mountain Life.

On a remote mountain in Peru in June 1985 mountaineer Simon Yates found himself in an unenviable position. He was slowly being pulled off the mountain face by his injured partner – Joe Simpson – dangling on the rope far below. His decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in the epic story of survival that followed. With the publication of the book ‘Touching the Void’ and later the film of the same name, both climbers became household names.

Come along to Darlington Civic Theatre and witness Simon’s tireless journey from that mountain in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet and share with him the drama, excitement and beauty of modern, lightweight alpinism. Told with wit, dry humour and lavishly illustrated with images and video collected on his great climbs. Simon both entertains and inspires.
