“MAKES RAY MEARS LOOK LIKE PARIS HILTON” -METRO

Andy Kirkpatrick is one of the mountain world’s big hitters: Winner of the Boardman-Tasker Award for his 2008 top selling book, Pyscho Vertical; prolific writer, gear guru, film maker and of course, a rather adventurous climber. But it is through his stand up shows that Andy is probably best known to the public.

Using video, music and a unique sense of humour, Andy details one of the most treacherous mountain ranges in the world, giving the audience a taste of what it is like on an expedition; being trapped on mile high summits in hurricane winds, buried by avalanche, or being pushed close to hypothermia whilst lashed to the side of a mountain.

Filmed live at Stornoway in December 2008, this DVD packs a full-on 100 minutes of the very best of Andy tale’s and humour. It is quite simply hilarious.

Available 22nd June 2009
Film length: 110 minutes
