Simon Yates will launch his new book The Wild Within at this year's Sheffield Adventure Film Festival. Speaking on the Friday evening, Simon joins a stunning line up of speakers and films at this year's ShAFF. 

Simon will entertain audiences with his tales of mountaineering adventures and first ascents in some of the most remote ranges in the world, including Cordillera Darwin in Tierra del Fuego, the Wrangell St-Elias ranges on the Alaskan-Yukon border, and Eastern Greenland. With a delivery laced with dry humour, he relates his experience of the rapid commercialisation of mountain wilderness, his new-found commitments as a family man, and his role in the film adaptation of Joe Simpson’s Touching The Void, having to relive the events of that trip to Peru for a Hollywood director.

Simon will also give readings from the book, and he will be available to sign copies after the event.
