Inspiring Supper with Andy Peacock - Saturday 1st November

His research allowed him to combine his love of climbing with physiological research at extreme altitude. The talk will explore the history of climbing at extreme altitude on Mount Everest from the earliest British expeditions through to his experiences on the expedition which aimed, amongst other objectives, to get Rebecca Stephens as the first British woman to the top of Everest.
