‘On Top of the World: Conquering Mount Everest’ – A Talk by Partha Dey

June 24 | 19:30 - 21:00

Partha Dey (current parent)  is one of just 266 British people to have reached the summit of Mount Everest.  Inspired by adventure, “the challenge, the thrill, and the excitement of the climb”, Partha set his sights on reaching the top of Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world at 8,850 metres. In order to do this he had to improve his fitness so he trained and took part in an Iron Man Triathlon (swimming 2.4 miles, cycling 112 miles and running 26 miles). He also knew that you needed to be good at climbing especially at high altitude so, in preparation for Everest, he travelled all over Europe climbing mountains, before heading to the Himalayas.
