In 2013, 6 Dutch climbers went on a big wall expedition to Kyrgyzstan to attempt a first ascent of the Great Wall of China, a 650m granite wall on the border with China in the Kokshaal Too range. Come and hear more about how they prepared and the expedition itself.
If you were unable to attend the lecture in person, members have access to a video recording of the talk via the 'Lecture Archive' section of the 'Member Login' drop-down menu. (You will first need to log into the website to see this).
