‘Tough Enough’: The World’s Hardest Wall 

David Pickford journeys to Madagascar on a rock climbing expedition with a difference. His team will establish a major new climb on one of Africa's highest and most impressive cliffs, the 900-metre Tsaranoro Massif. They will also attempt the project known as ‘Tough Enough’, now the world’s hardest big-wall free climb. Dave’s lecture tells the exclusive story of this exceptional climb, and is illustrated by breathtaking photography and film-footage.  

The lecture will also document the world-renowned wildlife and ecology of Madagscar, and discuss how climbing and adventure travel can help promote the survival of Madagascar's exceptional biodiversity.
