Talk about climbing with a sight impairment by Jess Dufton

Sight Advice South Lakes are hosting a talk by Jesse Dufton who recently featured in the multi-award winning film ‘Climbing Blind’.

Jesse was the first blind climber to lead a climb up the Old Man of Hoy sea stack in Orkney & he has kindly agreed to talk to us about how his interest in climbing developed & how he has continued to climb despite being able to see just light blurs in front of him. There will be opportunities to ask questions about this as well as about the Climbing Blind documentary.

Climbing Blind can be viewed on BBC iPlayer using the following link:
