Kendal Mountain Festival continues to announce an outstanding line-up for its November event.

New to the Festival will be an electrifying collaboration between BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Nemone and the Scottish Ensemble creating a three-tiered immersive experience to explore the connection between sound, body and water.

A live Q&A session between elite climber James Pearson and esteemed climber and author Niall Grimes as they present James' powerful biographical documentary 'Walk of Life', delving into the unseen struggles of athletes and the darker side of sport.

The full line-up for The Climb Session - Yosemite Special has been announced, in what promises to be a very special event. At the helm will be Pete Whittaker, no stranger to Yosemite climbing having made the first all-free rope-solo ascent of El Capitan. Pete will steer the conversation between a truly unique line-up of guests including Billy Ridal, Alex Waterhouse, Hazel Findlay, Leo Houlding and Jamie Logan. 

This year's Below Zero Session features the incredible aspiring polar explorer Genevieve Brown who is aiming to be the first Aruban, and the first unassisted black woman to ski both the North and South Poles. Endurance athlete Jenny Tough will present her latest short film as she completed the Lapland Arctic Ultra, an ultra-race for runners, bikers, and skiers deep in frigid northern Sweden. Also on stage will be Ed Salisbury, Will Tucker and Jon Moy from the 'Last Ride Project', aiming to be first - and possibly the last - to climb and ski the tallest mountain on each continent.

Comedian and presenter Clive Anderson will be hosting the eclectic BBC Radio 4 programme Loose Ends live at the Festival, in an edition that will celebrate everything outdoors. 

George Lonsdale will host a panel discussion on the impact of social media around climbing, with Hannah Morris and Magnus Midtbø.

Mountain Style by Max Leonard and Henry Iddon - the first book to celebrate the vintage style and visual heritage of the UK's outdoor clothing brands will launch at the Festival. With unparalleled access inside many brands' own archives, it brings together amazing images and deep research to tell a cultural history of the passion for the outdoors in the UK.

The pioneers of the Right to Roam campaign will be onstage to talk about their visionary concept 'Wild Service'. Blending science, nature writing and indigenous philosophy, this groundbreaking book calls for mass reconnection to the land and a commitment to its restoration.
