The Long Hope - Lecture & Screening, RGS, London

On February 8th, myself, Andy Turner and filmmaker Paul Diffley will be speaking at the Royal Geographical Society in London about the Longhope route. Mountain Equipment and Gore-Tex have helped us arrange an evening of entertainment at the RGS to share with you what was pretty memorable adventure for us, both in terms of the climbers involved in attempting to climb this cliff over 40 years, and in documenting it on film.

Myself and Andy will be speaking about our experiences in preparing and attempting the Longhope Route as well as some of the history behind climbing on the cliff and then we’ll present The Long Hope film made by Paul Diffley

Great review of 'The Long Hope' in Climb this month:

"Central to the singular, soulful brilliance of this film is its affirmation of climbing as a fundamentally shared act...

Paul Diffley shows how different generations of climbers are united by a poetry of hope that transcends the boundaries of style. Both for this, and for its magisterial cinematography, 'The Long Hope' is likely to become one of the definitive classic of the early twentieth century climbing filmmaking." - David Pickford, Climb
