books on the British mountains - 'Eyes to the Hills', 'Lakeland:
Landscape of Imagination', 'The Cuillin: Great Mountain Ridge
of Skye'; and 'The Peak: Past and Present'. He will also raise

Gary
Gibson – Obsession. “Gary’s slide show
was one of the best and most idiosyncratic I’ve seen in
years” Mark Vallance, Summit 38.
Controversial, enigmatic and strong-willed, Gary has been new-routing
for a very long time and has irritated almost everybody by doing
it by challenging the field of ethical debate from day one.
In his lecture ‘Obsession’, Gary takes an irreverent
look below the surface of his passion for the desire to be the
person who has done the most first ascents in British climbing
history. From the early days where every conceivable antic imaginable
was employed to get his name in the magazines, to the days of
self-promotion through the press and more latterly to more present
day controversies of bolting, Gary leaves no stone unturned
in the search for the reasons for ‘Obsession’. In
the process Gary visits all of his favourite areas including
the Peak District, North Wales, Pembroke, Lundy and other areas
to capture the diversity and ‘quality’ of his finds. |
