Once all expenses have been covered any profit from this lecture will be donated to the local Mountain Rescue Teams. There is, & has been for some time, a permament link to Andy & his excellent Psycho-Vertical web blethering on the righthand side of this blog. Andy is a highly entertaining speaker & solo climber extraordinaire. Gifted in the art of that finest of flat ground pursuits the organized blether, he delivers a unique insight into his own vertical climbing world. He certainly has the skills of the mountain writer alive in his soul, & translates the curving epics of an ordinary struggle beyond grades with clarity & passion. Where a good few others on the lecture circuit have become anally banal, number invested & grippingly narcoleptic in their approach, Andy continues to translate the rage inside a life threatening comedy of endless situations we can all identify with & repeatedly, with calculated idiocy, place ourselves on the crux of. Get yourself along.
