Matt Heason asked me to put this up  -  you've prolly already seen it on planetfear but  here goes anyway:

Ian Parnell – Ben Heason & Steve McClure

Winter Lecture Series

To keep climbers entertained during the cold winter months Heason Events is organising 30 multimedia presentations around the country.

Three of Britain's best known climbers and mountaineers, Ian Parnell, Ben Heason and Steve McClure, will present the shows via a state-of-the-art multi-media projector and sound system. Each program will incorporate stunning photography, video and photo/music compilations. The lectures will be accompanied by well sponsored competitions, including the chance to win a free planetFear coaching holiday. They will take place mostly in licensed venues (as in drinking).

All three climbers will lecture in Birmingham, London, South Wales (Bargoed Wall), Bristol, Bangor, Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds, The Lake District (Penrith) and Edinburgh. All lectures will start at 7.30pm (except Ian's show in Manchester on the 2nd December which will start at 7pm). Tickets will cost £4.50 if bought in advance, online at www.heason.net, and £5.00 on the night. Buying three tickets, one to each of the tours, online and in advance, will cost £12.00.

Ian Parnell - December
"The British Disease"

From sea cliffs to gritstone, bouldering to expeditions, Ian will take his audience on a multi media tour of the British Climbers Year; the fear, the frustration, the run-outs and cold bivis alongside the thrills, successes, friendships and summits. Through an innovative mix of stunning photos, inspiring film and an eclectic soundtrack this will be an evening celebrating the climbing life.

Ben Heason - January
"Walking in a Dangerous Place"

Shortly after Christmas, gritstone aficionado Ben Heason will take over where Ian left off. As a leading protagonist of the current generation of young traditional climbers, Ben has helped usher good old British climbing into the new Millennium. An active childhood trekking in the Himalayas and tree climbing in North Wales, naturally developed into an appreciation for adventurous rock climbing. A decade later Ben has left a trail of significant ascents across four continents. Preferring to on-sight bold and technical routes, Ben's more publicised ascents have naturally been on the holy rock that is "Gritstone", but there's a lot more to his story than that...

Steve McClure - February
"The Very Big and The Very Small"

And last, but not least Steve McClure will enlighten us during February on the secret of his success. Steve is one of the strongest and most committed climbers in the UK. Famous for pushing grades into new realms of difficulty he gives an insight into what it takes to succeed at the 9a grade and why the hell anyone would want to go to such extremes. First inspired by the Dawes slate masterpiece ‘The Very Big and The Very Small', Steve's focus shifted from trad to the hardest rock routes possible. Having recently packed in his job, Steve discusses how his motivation has moved on from the very small, super hard redpoints in Britain to long onsights in Europe, and more recently to the very big trad walls of Greenland.
