North Face of the Eiger, Training and Alpinism Career Development. Join us for Kath James’ Alpine Stories talk where she will share tales that span from her very first trip to the Alps through to more famous ascents. She will focus on her motivations and lessons learned from both success and epic misadventure on her journey from rock climbing and Winter climbing in the UK towards bigger routes. Kath will also speak about routes in the Chamonix area, and some lesser known peaks in the Alps, where she trained to get fitter and stronger as an Alpine climber. If you are keen to develop your Alpine climbing journey, then this talk is not to be missed!
