SIMON YATES
PLEASURE & PAIN
Presented by Speakers from the Edge.
Touching the Void mountaineer, Simon Yates, is a veteran of over eighty expeditions to high/remote mountains around the globe and shows no signs of slowing down. This is his story of the last decade, of new adventures and climbs in the far north and south, along with summits in South America, Central Asia and the Himalaya.
In 2023, Simon travelled with legendary British mountaineer Mick Fowler to attempt the un-climbed north face of Patkhor in Tajikistan, but a series of events occurred that would see them run out of food, retreat below the summit in a storm and Simon taking a bone-breaking 100m fall during the descent. Somehow, he would need to summon the energy for the painful three day walk to safety.
A survival classic, with the added twists of a fast-paced thriller.
