Stephen Venables: The Legend of Eric Shipton

Internationally acclaimed mountaineer, writer and broadcaster Stephen Venables tells the story of legendary mountaineer Eric Shipton in this beautifully illustrated talk.

One of the greatest mountain explorers of the 20th century, Shipton dedicated his life to exploring untouched mountain ranges all over the world, and took part in five expeditions to Everest – famously missing out on Sir Edmund Hillary’s historical ascent of the mountain after being sacked from the expedition.
