High Sports are really proud to be staging this exclusive lecture of Pete’s historic and stunning solo ascent of El Cap. We hope you can come along, if not we’d appreciate it if you could spread the word, all profits go to charity. Don’t miss this chance to meet the lad who put UK climbers firmly back in the Yosemite climbing history book.
