After work I scooted up to Kendal to see ian parnell who was doing a talk called 'from the eiger to everest'. The last time I saw him was at the lowery with his joint talk with mr kenton cool, which was inspiring. This talk was a great insight into ian parnell's life, how he has become a well recognised alpinist, mountain photographer and filmmaker. His slides were fantastic showing his climbs and expeditions in the Himalaya, Alaska, Greenland, Patagonia and Kyrgyzstan. He made the first ascent of Arwa Spire in India and has climbed new routes on Annapurna III in Nepal and Saf Minal and Kedar Dome in India.
