This year's E5 lecture series kicks off Thursday the 19th of January with Mick Fowler sharing some amazing stories from over twenty years of cutting edge alpinism.

Venue: George Square lecture theatre.
Time: 8pm. Get there early for a beer at the bar.

Mick's unique take on adventure has led him not only to climb some of the planet's most inspiring mountain routes, but also to other more obscure objectives. One cold winter he climbed an ice fall that had formed on the outside of St Pancras train station! More recently chalk cliffs in Brittany and victorian drainage tunnels in the east midlands have been the focus of weekend attention!

Mick has been awarded the prestigious Piolet D'or award for his new route on Siguniang with Paul Ramsden. His recent book, "On Thin Ice" was recieved to widespread critical acclaim.

Tickets are £5 in advance from Tiso Edinburgh shops, or £6 on the door. Tickets to all 5 lectures are a bargain at £18!

Happy climbing and see you there.

Es - wish I could be there but a bit far from home for an evening out. Think you'll find the chalk cliffs are in Normandy rather than Brittany

In reply to Doug: Thanks for the correction. In future must check my facts before posting!

Plenty of tickets left for this evening, so just turn up if you haven't got one already!

Doing a raffle in the interval for a couple of The North Face rucksacks, some of Micks new books, some Tiso vouchers and an "all mixed up" DVD.

Get there a bit early to get a drink to take in.

See you there.

Es.
