Sir Ranulph Fiennes: Everest, The Eiger & More



When world renowned Polar Explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes turned his attentions from the great frozen wilderness of the Poles to the world's highest and most testing mountains he faced several challenges. For a start he was just entering his sixties and recovering from a very severe heart attack, had no climbing experience and not least suffered from vertigo. This is the inspirational story about how he conquered those fears. Interviewed on stage by acclaimed high altitude mountaineer and photographer / cameraman Ian Parnell, Sir Ranulph Fiennes will talk about his expeditions to The Eiger and to Everest. Ian accompanied Sir Ranulph on both mountains, filming for television broadcasts, and will illustrate the evening with footage (some un-seen) and stills whilst Sir Ranulph will explain what it takes to finally stand on top of the world, raise well over a million pounds for Marie Curie.
