Tuesday, 17th March 2020 at 7:30pm John Porter: The Beauty of Risk

John explores the nature of adventure, challenging man’s perception of what is ‘real,’ what is delusional, what is beautiful, what is safe, and how success and failure are equally important. It covers how mountaineering can enrich lives but can also be self-destructive, even fatal, when boundaries are not recognised. John was part of a generation that ‘nearly climbed itself into extinction’.

Venue: The Greta Suite of the Skiddaw Hotel, Main Street, Keswick, CA12 5BL

Doors Open: 7pm. Lectures Start: 7.30pm.

The lectures are free to AC Members. FRCC members and other Non-members are welcome to attend for a suggested donation of £3 to the Montane Alpine Club Climbing Fund.
