PROFILE : Andy Turner
Living
for Winter
|
Lecture: Andy Turner didn't start climbing until he was 25. Growing up just outside Manchester, he had been a competitive road cyclist for years when he turned to climbing. Despite being a relative latecomer to the sport, Andy quickly realised that winter climbing was where his talents lay. He is now best known for pushing the limits of onsight Scottish winter climbing including new routes such as The Secret (IX,9) on Ben Nevis and the first winter ascent of Sassenach (IX,9) also on Ben Nevis. Last winter (2010/11) he set about the task of repeating the hardest routes in Scotland with the second ascents of both The Hurting (XI,11) and Catherdral (X,11). He also managed to fit in some new routing on the Lofoten Islands in Norway. Andy's lecture will reflect on the epic winters of recent years and look ahead to his plans for the months ahead.
