Pete Whittaker: Arctic Ascent

Climber Pete Whittaker shares a raw, first-hand account of a 2024 big-wall first ascent in East Greenland, presented by Speakers from the Edge.

World-renowned big-wall and crack climber Pete Whittaker takes audiences into remote East Greenland for a first-hand account of the 2024 first ascent of Ryu-shin on the 1,200-metre Mirror Wall.

The talk follows weeks of stormy sailing, glacier treks, and personal tragedy before the team even reached the rock, telling a story of commitment, uncertainty, humour and triumph.
