Due to
phenomenal demand,  Simon Yates of Touching the Void is returning to
South Mill Arts with his NEW talk, Pleasure and Pain. 

With
more than 80 expeditions to some of the world’s highest and most remote
mountains behind him, Simon shares extraordinary stories from the past decade
of exploration, from the far north and south to the peaks of South America,
Central Asia and the Himalayas.

In 2023,
Simon and fellow British climbing legend Mick Fowler attempted the
previously unclimbed north face of Patkhor in Tajikistan. What followed
became an epic ordeal: food poisoning high on the mountain, dwindling supplies,
a forced retreat in worsening weather and a devastating 100-metre fall
that left Simon seriously injured and stranded on a glacier awaiting rescue.
When help finally arrived but could not carry him down, he faced an
extraordinary three-day journey to safety.

A
powerful evening of adventure, endurance and survival, Pleasure and
Pain is a fast-moving, first-hand account from one of Britain’s most
respected mountaineers and a must-see for anyone inspired by exploration,
resilience and the limits of human determination.
