Following his successful Beyond the Void talks in 2008–2009, mountaineer Simon Yates is back on tour this spring with a new talk which will follow the publication of his new book, The Wild Within.

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.

The Wild Within tour is presented by Speakers from the Edge.
