Expedition Event - Capel Curig: 29th-30th October
Are you going on a big trip? Planning an expedition? Need an expedition Guide? Want to plan your own expedition but have no idea where to start?
Whatever stage you are at, come along to our FREE Expedition Event in Capel Curig, Snowdonia to speak with kit specialists and experienced climbers who are all eager to share their experiences.
From our very own staff, top brand representatives, qualified activity providers through to British Mountain Guides. We will also have some well-known (and travelled!) faces joining us:
Rab athlete, Jon Gupta will be with us in the shop all day Saturday to answer your questions and share his experience on over 100 expeditions including the highest summits on all seven continents.
British Mountain Guide Adrian Nelhams of International School of Mountaineering, will be available throughout the day on Sunday to share his colossal expertise in ice climbing and expeditions including two special workshops on expedition planning and looking at pathways to achieve the goal you are aiming for.
Make sure you buy your ticket to join us at Plas Y Brenin on Saturday evening for a fascinating talk with Brian Hall about his new book High Risk: Climbing to Extinction. High Risk is his first book and shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Award for mountain literature 2022 where Brian recalls the outrageous adventures of eleven of his climbing friends who risked, and too often lost, their lives to stand on some of the world’s highest peaks at a turning point in mountaineering history. This evening couldn’t happen without the kind support of Mountain Equipment and all proceeds are to Community Action Nepal.
PLUS:
- Epic Prize Raffle - worth over £2000!
- On the Hill workshops with Leading Edge
- FREE in-store workshops over Saturday and Sunday with the likes of Mountain Equipment, MSR, Adrain Nelhams and La Sportiva.
- Free Tea or Coffee offer with Moel Siabod Cafe
AND:
Small expedition chat sessions with:
- Joe Brown Staff team member Fran Cavanagh, recently returned from climbing a virgin peak in Kyrgyzstan as part of the all ladies Monstrous Regiment Expedition who will be offering advice to ladies keen to plan their own expedition.
- Local climber Dai Lampard has a huge amount of expedition experience and recently returned from attempting the SW Ridge of K7 in Pakistan where all didn’t quite go to plan.
- The Unstoppable Project will see a diverse group of women who have pushed through cultural and economic boundaries using the mountain environment to recover from trauma.
Hope to see you there!
