A pair of globetrotting British mountaineers will tour the UK as part of a speaking tour organised by Berghaus.

Leo Houlding and Mick Fowler will talk about their adventures across the world in a series of shows in England and Scotland, joining together for one night in London.

Young Sheffield-born Leo was the subject of BBC documentary “My Right Foot” in 2003 and is renowned for his ascents of Yosemite’s El Capitan and the Angel of the North statue, as well as his recent climb of the North Face of Baffin Island’s Mt Asgard, to be featured in an upcoming film. Mick Fowler, who specialises in exploring remote, extremely challenging climbing areas, will have just returned from his latest expedition to the north side of the Xuelian massif in the Chinese Tien Shan range.

Leo Houlding comments: “I am really looking forward to being part of the first Berghaus Adventure Series. It is a real privilege to have the opportunity to share stories about my climbing career so far, and hopefully enthuse people about the outdoors and adventure. Over the years, I have been inspired by the words and images of many other climbers and I hope that I can both entertain and encourage others to explore and enjoy the world around them.”

The Berghaus Adventure Series kicks off on October 24 and runs through to December 2 with a joint Leo and Mick lecture at the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) in London on November 27th.
