# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Mick Fowler and Victor Saunders - Pioneering Pensioners
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 23 Feb, 2027 at 07:00 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: In the summer of 1987 Mick Fowler and Victor Saunders travelled together to Pakistan, where they made the first ascent of the 'Golden Pillar' of Spantik (7027m), a landmark mountaineering achievement. Nearly four decades later, not only are they still climbing together, they're still achieving first ascents in Pakistan!

In 2024, the pair returned to the Karakoram and, over seven days, made the first ascent of the spectacular Yawash Sar (6258m) - “the Matterhorn of the Khunjerab.”

Both men are now officially pensioners, with Saunders in his early 70s and Fowler in his late 60s. Despite being at a point in life when most people are hanging up their boots, the pair are still as excited as ever for exploratory climbing.

Join us to hear them discuss their latest climb (a week-long epic which involved sleeping upright in a storm), their enduring partnerhsip and their future plans.

The talk will be held at the Alpine Club's premises at 55 Charlotte Road, EC2A 3QF and, as always, non-members are welcome to attend.
