Back From The Void - Simon Yates - The Wild Within - Australian Tour 2012 - in Melbourne on July 10

Hey guys,

If you would like to see/listen to an incredible mountaineer go and see Simon Yates, see info below. For the climbers/mountaineers I guess Simon Yates doesn't need an introduction and for the rest of us, here's some info in case you don't have a clue of who Simon is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't miss your chance to meet and hear from a man who’s made an indelible mark on the sport of mountaineering. The Simon Yates - Back from the Void 2012 Australia tour is presented exclusively by World Expeditions in association with Paddy Pallin this July and visits Katoomba, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Launceston and Perth for one night only!

Simon was etched into mountaineering history through the true life events depicted in the book and movie Touching The Void - one of mountaineering’s most harrowing stories.

After successfully summiting Siula Grande, Smon was assisting an injured Joe Simpson down a precipitous mountain in the midst of a violent storm in the Cordillera Huayhuash of Peru. Tethered by rope, Joe fell over a cliff on the descent and was left hanging over a gaping crevasse.

With Simon unable to move and no communication from Joe, Simon chose to cut the rope, surely sealing the fate of the injured Joe Simpson. Miraculously Joe climbed out of the crevasse and his cries were heard on the eve of Simon's departure.

Simon has written three books, the latest entitled The Wild Within. He will sell and sign copies of this book at each of his events alongside a presentation about how the spirit of adventure has shaped his life.

This is the first tour of Simon in Australia since 2005. Simon's tours outside of Australia this year have been sell-outs so be sure to grab yourself a ticket while you can - they will not last.
