In the summer of 1987 Fowler and Saunders travelled together to Pakistan, where they made the first ascent of the 'Golden Pillar' of Spantik (7027m), a landmark mountaineering achievement. Nearly four decades later, not only are they still climbing together, they're still achieving first ascents in Pakistan!
For one evening only, they join us at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) to discuss their latest climb (the 2023 first ascent of the spectacular Yawash Sar (6258m) - “the Matterhorn of the Khunjerab”), their enduring partnerhsip and their future plans.
Tickets can be booked now via Eventbrite with proceeds going to the MEF's continuing work of supporting mountaineering and scientific exploration in mountain regions.
The event, which is presented by outdoor manufacturer Berghaus, is expected to sell out quickly, so book soon to avoid disappointment.
