Talk: First Welsh Woman on Everest

Friday 9th November 2007, 7pm onwards

thumbnailClimbing the world’s highest mountain requires a lot more than just the technical skills and the right clothing. For Tori James it was an 18 month challenge which tested her to the limit both physically and mentally. Her experience has relevance to all of us whether at work or at home.

Not only will you gain an insight into life in the 'death zone' but Tori shares her passion for achieving things against the odds, she explains exactly how she turned a goal into reality, overcame numerous setbacks and used a variety of mental techniques to retain the positivity and self-belief that ultimately lead to her success.
